Same opinion here. It was long ago that I set Acrobat Reader to be the
secondary application (accessible from the context mane if needed) while
KGhostView is the default viewer in Konqueror (and Firefox too). It takes
just a couple of seconds to open documents, even without that initial, first
launch (unlike Adobe's resource beast). Speaking of which, it is also more
responsive, it works neatly and seamlessly over FTP (I often generate PDF's
remotely) and leaves more memory available.
