Well, I could reduce the problem somewhat by making sure the eps file I
am including has a preview in it. I use the following command to get an
eps file with a preview:
$> epstool -t6p fov.eps  fovp.eps

Now, I can see the preview image in the place where I inserted the eps
file in OOo. That preview image is a low res image. Now OOo does not
slow down when I scroll through that page. But ...

The problem is, when I export the file to a PDF, I get the same low res
picture in the output PDF as well instead of the actual eps file!

When I print the OOo file, however, the actual eps (not the low res
preview) gets printed.

In conclusion, if an eps file with a preview is used in OOo, OOo does
not slow down on the page which contains that file but also it retains
the low res in the exported PDF file. Printing the document gives the
right eps in the output though.
