Some versions of Adobe Reader load faster than others because they don't 
load all the DLLs (most of which are never used) at startup.  I think V6 
was the slowest. At one point, I had "hidden" about half of the files 
which made Reader tolerable.  V7 was smarter at loading, as I recall.

Then I switched to the free Foxit Reader (foxitsoftware.com) which loads 
in about a second on my machine.
