Sluggish image display

[BillWoodard]

Has FMP8's picture field image rendering slowed down? My FMP6 db has 1200 records with picture fields containing paths to 1-MB .jpeg's. For a layout displaying 10 images per screen, I can scroll from screen to screen with little noticeable delay. But when I created a test FMP8 db with only the picture field and referencing the same images, the same layout scrolled so slowly (15-20 seconds between screens) as to be useless. Is this characteristic of FMP8?
