OK, though slowness per se is not the issue--as I guess you noticed. > Even in earlier versions, it is recommended to break up a large project > to smaller ones of no more than (about) 30 pages each. "Even" in earlier versions? Assuming your words are carefully chosen, that implies that 1.3.5 is *slower*. If so, that's very bad. As books go, 160 pages isn't particularly big, and 30 is tiny. I really hope there is a solution to that problem on the horizon. Anyway, if there's no simple fix, I suppose I can split the book up a bit. -- Matt Gushee
