Took 11 seconds to render with the state fitting the window, 8.33% zoom for me.

Centered on San Fran at actual size with smooth line art enabled took a good 25 seconds.
The whole state, fit to window, smooth line art enabled: 28 seconds.

Edit: This is with the main computer listed in my sig. Overclocked Tbird running at 1387MHz 198FSB, 512MB DDR, and a GF3 Ti200.
 
About 24 sec, just OC'd my P4 1.6 to 1.79 with minor tweaks😀 fit to page 8.33% Radeon 8500 64

Smooth line art took 30 sec...
 
Acrobat has a nasty habit of terminating and staying resident. It also tends to terminate without my input. This has happened since Acrobat 3 and on many systems with many OS'es. It generally happens on PDF's that are set to auto-open in IE. If I download (Save-as) and open in a separate session it's much better behaved but still buggy.

Thus, I'm not the slightest bit surprised acrobat can push any system over the edge. It's a poorly coded piece of crap. That's IMHO. YMMV.
