There are a couple of possible causes: 1. if the files are on a network, any additional load on the network will slow things down. 2. the more pods you open, the slower FrameMaker becomes. The Variables/Markers/Xrefs/Insets pod is a major cause of slowdowns: every time you bring a new file to the foreground, FM updates all those lists. Close this pod if you don't need it. 3. Changes on the network can slow things down, e.g. a virus scanner on the server (or your computer) that checks the graphics files every time they're opened. Ctrl-L and PageUp/dn cause the page to be redrawn again. This just takes more time, won't have a positive effect on load times. You can use Esc v v to hide the graphics temporarily, this speeds things up considerably (but can a pain in the ass when you forget to switch them back on again before creating the PDF).
