Similar problem here.
The first time ADR is launched (by double-clicking a DWF file for
example), it takes a ridiculous amount of time to launch.
To open a tiny 46k file, it takes 6 seconds before the application
appears on the screen, and a full 30 seconds before the file is fully
loaded. I know that doesn't sound like much, but 30 seconds is an
eternity while waiting on a file to load. Fortunately, the second time
you launch a DWF file, it only takes about 4 seconds to load the file.
The same file in PDF format launches in Acrobat Reader (v.8 - same
computer) in 4 seconds the first and each subsequent time.
