| Acrobat Reader 8 is universal binary I think. While that fact alone does not answer your specific question, it should be peppier than anything that has to run under Rosetta.
Acrobat Pro is not universal binary, which means additional overhead due to running under Rosetta. I can tell you it is a hog on my MacBook Pro. It's still usablew, just markedly bloaty and resource hungry (and I hate that it adds a toolbar to Office [which is also a bloaty and resource hungry collection of non-universal binary apps]) reducing the visable document workspace even further.
Don't get me wrong. Rosetta is impressive for what it does, and what it costs. |
