Forgot to feed the hampster running your hard drive spindle?

What is your processor/memory? I find Acrobat takes about a minute
on
my machine (P-IV/1.8 Centrino w/ 1GB RAM) which twice as long as
Firefox, or OOo.

It may simply be that the libraries needed aren't loaded and are
taking time.

Eh? When starting it from KDE it takes 6 seconds for an initial run
(just timed it) and 2-3 seconds for subsequent runs on my 2.5 year-old
1.4GHz PC with 700MB RAM and a vanilla IDE hard drive. Granted, if i
load a big PDF it takes longer, but not a full minute.

Hmm. I stand corrected. (It certianly isn't the first time.)

I loaded a 100K PDF in four seconds on said laptop. I then loaded an
issue of Tux Magazine - about 5MB - in three seconds.

For some reason, I remember a week or two ago, having Adobe take eons
to load.



Starting OOo and loading a 121-page ODT takes about 15 seconds for me.
The PDF of that same file takes about ... 8 seconds to load with
acroread.

I just loaded a 150K ODT in six seconds.

Sounds like both your's and the OP's hamsters need feeding ;).

ROTFL

I guess they're well fed.


Trying this on my slower desktop with only 512MB, I got Adobe to load
in ten seconds and OOo in seventeen seconds. (It wasn't even a measure
of life...)
