Paul Keith:
No but even prior to the release of this app, there were many tricks in speeding up version 8 of Adobe:

Just a me-too:
FoxIt rules!
You must ask the intaller NOT to install the IE toolbar, or use the portable version.
FoxIt is fast, light, and doesn't look like crap at all. Just like Adobe Reader used to be before it was a 30 MB download (now it's 80+MB).

I use FoxIt.  I use a retro V. 2.0 from here:

You can even go back to the 1.x versions.  Don't know if they'll work on Vista but 2.0 works fine on both 32 bit and Vista64.

- not without first registering for membership, it seems.
Does it even work off-line?
