sure what you are trying to run this on. I have used Sumatra for PDF
reading, from the Portableapps.com site on a windows box. the fact
that it is open source should mean that it has a Linux pkg somewhere.
Alas, I just looked and it is Winders only. Sorry.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>The recent posts asking about Adobe reminded me of an issue I've
been having for some time. The bundled reader in Mac OSX is nigh-infinitely
faster (even on arcane 300mhz G3 processors) than anything I've ever seen for
Windows and Linux. The only thing I've seen that comes close in terms of
performance is the Windows shareware Foxit Reader. Evince et al have certainly
made great strides in terms of speed, and it's certainly simpler and sucks less
than Adobe's Reader, but it's still not nearly as fast, responsive, and easy to
use as Apple's Preview. I still see "Loading...." far too often on an Athlon X2.
Using Evince or the bundled PDF reader in Maemo, on an N800 with specs that
really aren't all that different from the old Mac I used to have, I'm forced to
waste so much time reading a PDF that I have to go all old-school and run
pdf2html and read it with fbreader.<BR><BR>Is there anything out there that's
substantially faster than Evince?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Sean
