I had the same problem and I did some research on the net and found that
it's a known problem with version 6 of Acrobat. I erased it off my system
and installed version 4 and it works MUCH better. So far I haven't had any
problems running the older version. The other thing that I've found is to
NOT open documents on the net with Acrobat. Right click on them and do a
Save As. It will download in seconds instead of (literally!) hours. Then
open and use the saved copy.

It seems to be bloody horrible on modern versions
of Linux, too :-(
(well, at least on Redhat 9) Slow as hell, plus the rendering
quality is
pretty awful.
I have a 2.8GHz Intel box running Debian at
work and that works quite nicely (firefox
and xpdf IIRC). I also have a 450MHz Intel
box running Windows and Acrobat 6 on that
runs like something that died quite a
while ago :-)
