ArcReader Find Tool  Slow in Publised Map

Hello - Need a little help  (ArcMap 9.3.1 and ArcReader 9.3.1)

Here's what I'm seeing:

I created a map in ArcMap 9.3.1 and published it to a .pmf file for ArcReader.   When I open the ArcReader map and click on the Find icon (binoculars)  it takes 10 seconds to pop up the Find window. 

From there I choose the Address Tab - takes 7 more secs, - choose my address locator and then can find my address quickly.  If I exit out of the Find tool  and then go back in -  everything pops up and loads and finds quickly.  If I exist out of the map, and re-open the map,   it's slow again for the first time that I use the tool.

I have all the associated files - pmf, shape files, address locator, etc - in one folder on the hard drive.  The address locator I used is based on one field in the Addresses shape file containing the full address.   I placed an attriute index on that field in the Address shape file.  Is that an inefficient way to do it?   

Are there cache settings - is the cache being cleared each time I exit ArcMap or ArcReader?  Can I default the address locator in the published map  or in ArcReader and will that help?

Thank you very much for any suggestions!   I've had trouble tracking down this information..

I'm having a similar issue.  I created an address locator for my pmf.  It works fine in the mxd, but when I try to search for an address in the pmf it just spins and spins.  Any thoughts?
