Eric -- a thought comes to mind. Have you tried "load trajectory"? It saves hugely on memory and should make animations run faster as well. In your case then there are only 1996 atoms. Quite a savings.
You have to use the latest build, at http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/examples-11/Jmol-11.zip because there is a bug in 11.9.4 and 11.8.5 that broke trajectories.
