I asked a similar question over here in a local echo, Ed.  Basically
because I was disgusted with the long start up time for Foxit, seeming to
take longer & longer to start every time I went to use it.  (This is in
my wife's XP-Home VirtualBox, BTW.)  Even when it was loaded, the user
experience was like moving & navigating in a fishbowl, with an awkward
menu presentation.  It got so bad that I was moving PDFs to a LAN share
& using some sort of unnamed Linux PDF viewer to read the file(s), just
to simply peek into them.

Well, one of the blokes over here clued me into a neat _little_ viewer
called something like PDFXViewer or PDF Xchange viewer, by an outfit called
(unfortunately-named...) Tracker Software.  It's installed at 31Mb!  It
loads up in a jiffy, and feels great.

Try it.  Of course, be careful with any additional 'overhead' software they
may include... I can't recall what happened but I develop a nasty shoulder
twitch whenever I download & install stuff in Windows these days,
taking particular care with all the 'wizard'-like prompts, and I forget
whatever hoops & hurdles I had to dodge with that one.  I hope you like
it too.

Cheers,
Paul.
