Yeah, It's way fast, and it looks like it renders the PDFs properly. 

One thing I don't like about it (and about Adobe's reader) is that it 
seems to get STUPID when it comes to the position of the toolbar icons. 

I move the icons so they are all on one toolbar, only taking up one line 
on my screen, and the next time I launch it, it draws 2 toolbars. The 
first toolbar is missing an icon at the end, and the second toolbar 
contains only the one missing icon. What a stupid thing for a toolbar to 
do. It's probably the way the toolbar api works, so I can't really blame 
these people, but for goodness sake, why can't it just work RIGHT?

It did however crash whilst I was doing this!  going to give it a good workout and see how it compares in other areas though.
