Guilmette" Subject: acroread9-9.4.2 -- 100% CPU usage X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2011 01:42:04 -0000 I knew that this was a problem for older versions of the adobe acrobat reader (acroread) but I really thought that SOMBODY would have fixed this by now, as it has been a longstanding problem. But alas, acroread9-9.4.2 as installed from the ports tree on a reasonably up-to-date 8.2-RELEASE/amd64 system is still consuming 100% CPU whenever it runs. I googled around awhile trying to find the solution, and found a couple of suggestions for fixing this, but none of them worked. OK, so somebody please clue me in. What's the magic diddle I have to apply to this system in order to get acroread 9.4.2 to stop consuming 100% CPU? (I already tried diddling the "direction connection / proxy" thing in a couple of different ways and that makes no difference at all.)
