There was a bug for this, but I think it was closed as you can't
reliably tell when a changing file will stop being changed. Pressing
Control-R isn't too difficult though.

Middle-drag, same as Gimp.

The reading non-visible pages shouldn't have a noticable effect on the

Right click on a djvu file and in Properties -> Open With you can change
the default. That isn't an Evince thing but probably due to Djview not
installing a freedesktop MIME type, and Evince is.
