I also tried loading up generic thumbnail placeholders as a default and letting RenderThumbnail, called from the Draw event, 
determine whether the thumbnail could be loaded from the document or if it needed to be rendered. But, it didn't seem to load 
any faster, ie. the Application.Busy cursor seemed (an entirely subjective observation) to remain the same amount of time.

The only way I can think of to speed it up any more would be to offload loading of the placeholders to a background Task. 
However, given the nearly 2800 page PDF I've been testing with, I think it is good enough.

It doesn't matter to me, Willy, how, or if, you mention me as long as it isn't something disrespectful ;-)
