* You can set LyX to not show pictures within the LyX window
Is there a way to make all the graphics in a document not appear,
without turning them off one-by-one?

It is certainly possible (and expected) to see much faster behavior.
On similar hardware, I can open a 400 page book, with about 800
equations, in about 10 seconds. I can't tell why your system is
slow,
but try closing all figure floats, and (possibly) turning off instant
preview. Others may have a better idea of what things cause slow
performance, but it does not seem to be inherent in LyX (or with
windows).
It is quite possible to do large documents in LyX. My thesis was the
equivalent of about 160 pages. Using LyX 1.3.3 I could work on it
suprisingly well using just a laptop with a 300 MHz Pentium III
running
Linux. A few tips though:
* You can split up your thesis into a multi-part document, this makes
each part much easier to work with.
* You can set LyX to not show pictures within the LyX window
I was using LyX 1.3.3 when I wrote my thesis, and unfortunately the
latest
version seems to be quite a bit slower. This is a known problem.
Maybe you
could try LyX 1.3.7 instead?
