Further investigation today I found the following: These images are ONLY linked to a Master Source according to Multimedia List Report runs that I did on the new copy of my Legacy file.
Therefore, I decided to add them to an individual to see if that would change the symptoms. In doing so I discovered the following: I clicked on the individual and clicked on pictures icon. I started adding the 13 TIFs one at a time. All was well until I got to adding the 9th TIF. The 9th addition put the CPU into that 35-45% range solid for 30 seconds before returning to 0% CPU usage. Then I added the 10th and CPU has been running at 35-45% utilization solid for the past 10+ minutes. The picture gallery flashes about every 6-7 seconds and briefly says "(not responding)" in the title bar after the picture gallery name. It appears that when I add large TIF's to picture gallery that at #9, in this case, it begins to use a lot of CPU for 30 seconds but recovers. When adding #10 it goes into a permanent looping state that flashes (not responding) every 6-7 seconds. FASTSTONE PHOTO RESIZER - good results As a result of the JPG suggestion I wanted to see just how much storage I could save by converting the images. As an aside: I used FastStone Photo Resizer to create JPEG-90's using the batch feature. It took 9 seconds to create the 13 JPGs. That reduced the size of the 13 images by 96%! Comparison of the resulting images appear to be very, very good. If enlarged to an extreme, I see a slight degradation in image quality. If forced to JPGs, I have found a tool that is free and works very well for converting batches of images quickly.
