Just got tired of the whole thing. Not so now. I am still doing the same things with the greatest of ease and a zillion times less trouble.

I use the entire Adobe package for graphics and video and have not had any problems with them -at all. My machine has 2 1/2 gigs but still "worked" (although slower when using video) with even 1.
For whatever reason Adobe Acrobat seems to be as big, or bigger, of a resource hog then even their own Premier Pro which is their massive video suite.

As for having to format, I am not sure why that would always be required. Macs and PC's use the same hard drive hardware. I WILL admit that PC's require the occasional defragging, but that is a once or twice a year procedure which takes a few hours overnight to accomplish.

Probably from spyware and virus's jacking up system files etc etc or downloading and installing bad programs
