Printing from Acrobat Reader is N times slower than from Windows

Another lie: Linux is just as fast as Windows

Something I've never noticed as I am doing the bulk of PDF printing under Linux. Probably not for long now that I noticed how Acrobat Reader under Linux only uses 1 out of 4 CPU cores to submit a print job and once submitted, it take about 3-4 times longer for each page to be printed.

Using same version 9 Acrobat Reader under both Win7 and Fedora, both 64bit.

Using same version 9 Acrobat Reader under both Win7 and Fedora, both 64bit. Dual-booting the PC which configuration is way above minimum requirements for both operating systems: 4core Phenom 3GHz, 8GB dual-channel DDR3. Printing the same file to the same printer over the same Ethernet interface.

Try this on graphics-intensive PDF pages and you are going to notice the difference.
