I found that the problem was without solution as far as the pictures were true images (i.e. raster images). But the rendering is very fast if one use eps pictures coming from xfig (or directly xfig). You may extract such pictures from ps ones by using pstoedit (with linux): pstoedit -f fig toto.ps >toto.fig The main advantage of this method (apart from the speed of the loading of pictures) is that you may edit the pictures to your taste. You may do the same thing with ps files with embedded postscript figures by fractionning your file in pages: psselect -p 1 blabla.ps page1.ps pstoedit -f fig page1.ps >page1.fig and by removing the superfluous text with xfig I use frequently this method, which works correctly if the ps files are not in fact raster pictures.
