So, does anyone know why AR takes forever to get going?
No, but it takes about 5 secs to start up on a P4-1.7. That machine is 10 years old almost. How long are you talking about?
I just tried it on my 2.6GHz Athlon II X4 (new CPU I could not resist) and got this: ~4 seconds to display, then another 22 before it would do anything else (specifically, advance one page). During the wait, it just sits there and acts dead, kind of like SeaMonkey does when it decides to be cranky.
This will make you cringe, it is a P4B533 Asus Board. Do not be so sad though, my friend has a HP 64 Bit Athlon/VT ext., and this desktop will burn circles around his. They don't make them like they used to. I have a Athlon 64Bit 4000+ desktop also but somehow I just cant seem to leave this old one. Kernel = Linux ethies 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 #1 SMP on CentOS Bits i686
This only happens during the first load in a while - probably until the cache for its pages clear, or it may be going out on the web to check for updates, though this seems to take a long time.
Check the settings for adobe because honestly I had to change mine! the cache settings i think for adobe reading pages ahead into memory.
