Not by any noticeable amount, and the disadvantages far outweigh the negligible amount of resources it would free.ahklearner wrote:kill explorer process, will it speed up while browsing or reading pdfs?

Just use an alternative to Adobe Reader if that's the one you're using. I use the more lightweight Sumatra personally.

I have no pdf reader installed.
