Unless something's changed, expect bad news from your IT:
But there's no reason to leave run-time scanning on them, so long as the file-create and file-modify scanning remains (i.e., check each write operation, not each read operation).
That said, I use PNG, JPG, and SVG exclusively in FrameMaker, and my files open over a network in the usual time: e.g., 400-page manual with 18 chapters; File > Open All Files; about 2-3 minutes. [If that's "slow as molassas" then I'm just used to it after two decades.]

Thanks for the tip, David. It does appear to be the fault of AVG
scanning the files. I temporarily turned off AVG protection, and the
file containing .png images opened almost as fast as the one containing
.tif images. Closed the files, turned AVG back on, reopened the files.
The version with .png was slow as molasses again.
Our network guru is going to check whether .png files are vulnerable to
malware in some way, and if not, he'll exempt them from AVG's scanning.
