I use evince for reading PDFs.. just a suggestion.

Let me elaborate a little.

Evince does not have a whole lot of features, which is fine until I
need to do things like size the paper, print 2-up, etc.

True, it's a lot faster than AR, but it also doesn't do a lot of
things that AR does.

So, does anyone know why AR takes forever to get going?

I believe that AR is a huge bit of software (see size of download) because Adobe bundle all the required libraries with it - thus no dependancies, thus when it starts it needs to reference all its own libraries and load them - no sharing or prelinking. I've probably not conveyed this in technically correct terms but hopefully you get idea.
thus it will always be slow to start
