I have it in: G:\AcrobatReader51\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe

Performance, however, is less that 1% of that for Acrobat 4.05. It's
totally unusable! This is a known problem, reported by some users on the
Innotek forum. No resolution yet.

The problem may have something to do with running on a SMP machine,
although times were nearly identical with one or both CPUs running:

0:37 to start the program until ready to open a file.
1:48 to open a 1.8 MB file & display the TOC.
0:22 to navigate from the beginning to the end of the file by clicking
on the last item in the TOC.
1:53 to exit from clicking on the close icon in the title bar to CPU
utilization dropping to near zero.

Again, this is on a Tyan Tiger MP S2460 motherboard, 1 GiB RAM, Athlon
2200+ CPUs, running eCS 1.14.

I also tested on an ASUS A7V133, 256 MiB RAM, 800 MHz CPU. Times were
approximately:

0:04 load program
0:02 load 1.8 MB file
0:02 navigate beginning to end via TOC
0:01 exit program

This is quite usable. It is a disaster on the SMP system, even though
that system is faster in every way!
