Adobe Reader Speed-Up

Posted by ePlus on 25 October, 2005 at 18:38 pm

Another find on the internet which I saw on http://www.neowin.net/comments.php?id=31165&category=software is this Adobe Reader Speed-Up:

Adobe Reader Speed-Up significantly decreases the amount of time required for Adobe Reader to start by disabling most of the least used plugins. Plugins can be freely enabled and disabled, if required. Adobe Reader Speed-Up was created in an effort to automate the process of speeding up Adobe Reader’s launch time by disabling the majority of plugins that are, quite franky, completely useless for most users.

Since v1.20, ARSU stores unused plugins in the Optional folder of Acrobat/Reader. This means that when a PDF is viewed and Acrobat/Reader requires a plugin for full functionality, it’ll be loaded automatically for that particular PDF only.

And it does work. Improved the start-up time on an old 600Mhz 250Mb RAM computer that I have by half. I would definitely recomand it to anyone!

FireTune Firefox

Look what I found. This nice simple tool can optimize your Firefox to work to its best. I noticed an improvement straight away! This is what it does, I’m quoting from the website.

According to your specific computer speed and internet connection speed, FireTune will optimize several internal settings of Firefox for better performance. FireTune does NOT modify the Firefox executable, or any other Firefox binary file. Everything can be undone easily provided you saved your original profile configuration file with FireTune’s profile backup feature before.

Download FireTune With Installer (.exe)
