Not by any noticeable amount, and the disadvantages far outweigh the negligible amount of resources it would free.

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

SumatraPDF ftw!!!! Based on the really fast MuPDF with custom really efficient memory management.

I have no pdf reader installed.
I open it in my chrome browser (Drag'n'Drop) ^^
