Adobe Acrobat eating ram

One of my college classes distributed a somewhat large pdf (44 megs) as part of the class materiel. All fine and dandy, except when I open it up in good old Adobe Acrobat it slows my computer to an utter crawl. Finally managing to get task manager open I see that Acrobat is eating up a whopping 600+ megs of ram.
Any ideas as to why its hogging so much, might there be a different pdf viewer I could open it in and see if it, too, blows up to such high ammounts of my ram?

Also, depending on the authoring of the pdf, they may have outlined all the fonts instead of embedding, used all high res images/complex, unflattened line art, or something equally stupid.
Edit: Foxit works great, thanks for the suggestion!
