I run Scribus 1.4.2 on a computer with 8 GB of RAM. However, it is extremely laggy. It wasn't always this way. The document got slower and slower as it got bigger. Right now, the document is around 300 pages long, and it takes 5-10 seconds to change just ONE character in the document.
It seems clear to me that the lag I experience is a direct result of the length of the document. Because the document consists of one very long linked text frame, it has been suggested that those linked frames are the cause of the problem and that I may be able to fix it by splitting the document up into smaller chunks. The problem is that I've already invested a lot of time into this project. Is there a way I can split the document up easily without typesetting everything from scratch? One suggestion was to make multiple copies of the document and delete all unwanted pages from each copy to form the desired chunks. However, I found that deleting pages doesn't affect the text of the document. When I delete a page, the text frame on that page remains and simply gets placed on the page that gets moved down to take the place of the deleted plage. Please help!
