Michael,

how much memory have you assigned to Acrobat 4? The default setting is
working in most cases, but doubling it might help a lot.

Also, it might be worthwile to check the health of your whole system (Disk
first aid etc.), as well as the free space on your system partition (where
the System folder resides) including the degree of fragmentation of the
free space.

Another thing to look at would be PitStop, which used to be a hog for
Acrobat 3, but -- in my experience -- is now way more stable.

Hope, this can help.
