[scribus] Doing a cookbook - how to treat each recipe

[Richard]

I think you could get some better performance by disabling color 
profile, and adding a better graphics card. (if you have somethig abot 
8/16/32MB)
I used to work on a 2100MHz Athlon with 1GB RAM and an AGP Nvidia 
6600/256MB with very good performance (color profile disabled) load, 
export, etc...  and overpassed 25 pages with at least 5 images/page for 
a price catalog.

Regards.
