Having got the Linux Acrobat reader binary running, I now note that it
chews up large amounts of CPU time, even before a .pdf file is opened.

The behaviour could of course be an Acrobat bug, or it could be
something not quite right in the emulation.  Is anyone else running
Acrobat Reader 3.0 (either on NetBSD or Linux)?

If I have to I'll install Linux someplace for comparison ...
