Can prawn create "linearized" PDFs?

[jrochkind]

see:

A linearized PDF file is a special format of a PDF file that makes viewing faster over the Internet. Linearized PDF files contains information that allow a byte-streaming server to download the PDF file one page at a time. If byte-streaming is disabled on the server or if the PDF file is not linearized, the entire PDF file must be downloaded before it can be viewed.

No, Prawn doesn't support linearization as of 2.4.

I don't think there's an easy workaround as Linearization requires multiple xref tables which Prawn doesn't support either.
