Then, it is a problem on my machine (settings), I get different times:

roussankas-computer:~/Documents/tests rosi$ ls -l test_view.pdf
-rw-r--r--   1 rosi  rosi  92556 Mar 23 12:50 test_view.pdf
roussankas-computer:~/Documents/tests rosi$ ls -l test_view.pdf
-rw-r--r--   1 rosi  rosi  92556 Mar 23 12:52 test_view.pdf

And I have now cleared all external AUCTeX commands, everything is just 
the defaults in  Emacs and TeX distributions.
