I only have Adobe Reader installed for forms support when I need it. The Sumatra PDF web browser plugin is really efficient too - I've never had any issues, and it's always been very responsive.
On my end, Sumatra PDF came out being the fastest PDF reader - it was even faster than Foxit (which was, in turn, faster than Adobe Reader ). They should take a few seconds to render either way (at least that's the case on my Core 2 processor). Pages 67 and 68 contain a complex circuit diagram. Pages 34 and 35 contain a complex PCB diagram (vector based, not bitmap). In my case, I refer to many (vector based) circuit diagrams, and I need something that renders as fast as possible, while panning around and zooming in and out on the document. Test with complex vector diagrams instead (they stress the PDF reader a lot more than just text). Didn't find it to be as good as many say, but worth a new try I guess. I've tested Foxit earlier, but not the latest one. I've still to find another PDF-reader that is as fast and renders text and graphics as good as Adobe Reader. At 100%, Adobe Reader looks great, easy to read and smooth text. Left one is Adobe Reader, right one is Sumatra.
full screen, 1920x1200, the bitmapped image is zoomed to 300%. And also for comparison I just tested Sumatra PDF portable version, and it has noticeable worse text rendering than Adobe Reader. Adobe Reader is very fast rendering complex pages. Maybe smallest PDF reader, but not fastest by any means.
