They have announced plans to do exactly that. Versions are in the works for eBook readers as well. Sony and Astak are both working on versions.

And there I was hoping that Adobe could learn ... but no. Still no Linux-release parallel to Mac/Windows.
Oh well, plenty of alternatives on Linux.

I really like pdfs, however I never understood the bloatware-iness of adobe. I mean storing a document with formatation and displaying it on screen like it is printed doesn't sound that of a technical fuzzy-wuzz adobe does around their software.

Especially working with latex, ghostscript, the aladin package, etc. I never really understood how pdfs/ghostscript works, but its always some strange trouble requiring strange tinkering...

Previous versions of Adobe Reader have claimed to load faster. In practice this has always been achieved by pre-loading most of it when you start windows......so I'm dubious about this new claim......

It still does, running a file called \Program Files\Adobe Reader 9.0\Reader\Reader_sl.exe from the HK Local Machine Registry Hive.

That said, it loads a lot faster here (about 4 seconds for a first run, down to about 2 seconds once cached) than Adobe 8 did. (My desktop is a Win XP Pro SP3 machine with 1GB of RAM and multiple 7200 RPM drives.)

I haven't tested it without the pre-load. I can afford the required resources to use that.
