PC Magazine had a very similar article, however I found this on www.x1000forums.com by looking at Google's cache of the page.
(Easily reversible if you change your mind).
1) Start Adobe Reader. To turn off the splash screen go to Edit - Preferences - Startup then uncheck the box "Display Splash Screen". I also turn off "Show messages and automatically update".
2) Shutdown Adobe Reader. Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Reader (replace the C: if you installed on another drive).
3) Create a new folder called plug_ins_disabled or plug_ins_backup, your choice.
4) Move all the files and the folders (except three files see #5) from the plug_ins folder to the disabled or backup folder you just created.
5) Leave the following three files in the original folder, EWH32.api, search.api and search5.api, if you have them. [If you use adobe to print across the internet, leave in printme.api] [If you want the weblinks to work, leave in escript.ini and weblink.ini]
Now start Adobe Reader and enjoy the speed increase.
(Once again, If you change your mind, simply move all the files back.)
