Scrolling through imported Powerpoint is slow

[p***@gmail.com]

Hi,

I've used the PPT2One program to import my powerpoint files into
OneNote...the problem is, after importing 50 or so powerpoint
presentations, the .one files get huge (which is not so much a
problem), but scrolling through my notes (with embedded slides) is
quite laggy and switching from section to section sometimes takes up to
40, 50 seconds...

I'm running Windows XP on a 1.6ghz Pentium M processor with 512mb of
RAM...

Does anyone have any suggestions? I like OneNote for it's easy
bulleting/numbering functions, but I can't deal with the lag!

Thanks.

Offhand I'd recommend upgrading your RAM but you may want to check Task
Manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC) while it's being slow and see if you can figure out
if the CPU or Memory are being heavily loaded.

Everything runs fine with the system I have. I decided to test OneNote
with all my current notes on another system, so I installed OneNote and
copied over all my notes on a P4 3.2gHz with 2gigs of RAM. It's still
lagged with it scrolls, although not as bad.

Notebook sizes reach ~350 megs with 8 imported PowerPoint lectures per
notebook.
