Slow, compared to Foxit reader portable 2.0
I just used Foxit Reader Portable 4.3, and I got to say that I'm disappointed with how fast the reader starts up, as compared to its previous versions.
Foxit Reader Portable 2.0 starts up nearly instantly, while 4.3 takes 10 secs. 4.3 is only very slightly faster than Adobe Reader.
I can confirm that. I
I can confirm that. I switched away from Foxit (local and portable) some time ago as they suffer more and more from feature creep. Maybe the description should be altered as it is everything other than breezing-fast now.
