There's nothing to configure with the package.

I calculate ~58mb.

It's not a processor-lever emulation, which would be slow: the kernel
only intercepts a handful of syscalls and translates, so it's nearly
as fast as it would be native. "acroread" is not fast, though. If you
have a very slow system, you might like native "xpdf" better, though
it's not as featureful and it won't display every file.
