As I understood you, you insert the graphics as EPS in LyX and produce
then the PDF via pdflatex. I also use pdflatex for the PDF-output but
insert all graphics as PDF. This has the advantage that the compilation
process is much faster because JPG, PNG, and PDF-graphics can directly
be embedded into a PDF so that no conversion step is needed. This
increases the compilation time and avoids your problem.
A very good EPS -> PDF converter is Ghostscript (and of course Acrobat).
And if Curtis is using Mathematica to generate the graphs, he can export
them directly to PDF from Mathematica.
