Even in my PC which is of 256MB ;-) it opens pdf documets quickly and even safely.
If your acrobat reader also taking huge time to load eating resources you should try this Foxit Reader
just yesterday nite, i upgraded to adobe reader 10.1 .. that too around 11 pm… and its a coincident that you posted about the same yesterday nite ,, if you could have posted earlier,, i would have saved my bandwidth .. by the way ,, please reply my emails …
Foxit is great but I found SumatraPDF to be lighter and the best PDF reader.
I could compare some software for pdfs and set my choice on PDF-XChange as on the one most stable and with much features for free. And I like OCR feature as very necessary for my work with pdfs.
