How much memory does your computer have?  Mine took about 13MB to display 
a pdf file with xdpf and Xvesa (and rxvt and icewm).  Most of this is xpdf 
itself.

When I used pdftoppm, it took 99.8% of cpu to do the conversion and was 
still quite slow on my 1.4GHz computer, so this is not a good solution on 
an old computer.

svp (frontend to ghostscript) displayed quickly using about 3MB, at 1280 
res. But you would need to install ghostscript - or parts of it.  The 
latest ghostscript requires just one 2-3MB binary but the older ones 
require additional files.  Also svgalib.
