As a side effect, probably due to the usage of Gtk+, Evince takes a lot longer than Xpdf to render pages.
Rendering is done by poppler library, if it's slow it's maybe because your version uses cairo backend of poppler which is still not accelerated (you can also use the splash backend which is xpdf rendering code). Anyway, Gtk is not related to rendering PDF at all.
