Never experience that.

I have experienced that myself. I'm no tex-expert, but I've been told
to add these configuration lines into texmf.cnf ( I have a teTeX
distribution, so the file is located at
.../teTeX/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf ):
main_memory.jadetex = 1100000
hash_extra.jadetex = 15000
pool_size.jadetex = 5000000
string_vacancies.jadetex = 45000
max_strings.jadetex = 55000
pool_free.jadetex = 47500
nest_size.jadetex = 500
param_size.jadetex = 1500
save_size.jadetex = 5000
stack_size.jadetex = 15000
main_memory.pdfjadetex = 1100000
hash_extra.pdfjadetex = 15000
pool_size.pdfjadetex = 500000
string_vacancies.pdfjadetex = 45000
max_strings.pdfjadetex = 55000
pool_free.pdfjadetex = 47500
nest_size.pdfjadetex = 500
param_size.pdfjadetex = 1500
save_size.pdfjadetex = 5000
stack_size.pdfjadetex = 1500
Maybe you need to remake the .fmt files. I don't know.

I also have noticed how slow the rendering of leaders is. Espesially
when using AcrobatReader for Linux. The Windows version is a bit
faster. But I don't understand why rendering some dots should be that
slow!
