That is unfortunate with scribus: It is slow, no - it is as fast as dead 
turtle, when it has to work with more than just a few pages. We are still 
using an old pagemaker (6.5) on a window computer (the only one remaining) to 
do the layout for books. 

We would love to do all layouts with scribus, but due to the speed we can't. 
However for layouts with less than 6 pages we use it, because its handling is 
much better.

It is also not possible to split books into different documents, because you 
loose a lot of control on orphan, widows etc.
