Are you guys still experiencing PDFs being super slow in High Sierra?

Using Late 2016 15' MBP and in this particular action I experience constant stuttering, especially in larger files (20-40MB).

Not to mention, that every e-mail containing PDF is loading for ages (using native Mail app) or loading only half of the document and stops.

In extreme cases it even freezes the system.

Maybe you have some solution?

My PDF files act the same as usual. Maybe mine aren't big enough to cause a problem, but they're just as fast as ever here. I'll try transferring some larger files and loading them. If they're slow, I'll report back here.

UPDATE:

Okay, so the biggest document I have is only a couple thousand pages. It loads and scrolls very smoothly. I have no issues with how PDF's are loading.

Keep in mind that there are several file versions to PDF files. Perhaps mine are smooth due to versions I'm using.
