Found the fix for this one after 7 hours of googling.   Only *one*
valid hit on this in the entire Internet.

The delay is caused from the program trying to read/cache/open all its
own temp files.   Somehow, excess files are created (many/most of them
zero byte, in my case). Deleteing these files restores program
function.

The files are found in:
Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp

Use search or command shell to look at the files that match:

acr*.tmp

Delete them all, and retry the application.

My sick computer had 4700 of these.  My ow PC, on which acrobat reader
7.0.3 works fine, currently has only 2 files like this.

Hope this helps a fellow admin in the future.
