[scribus] Speeding up Scribus WinXP

Hi, I'm using scribus to lay out our school magazine. I've noticed (now, and
2 years ago) that running scribus on WinXP is quite slow. I mean that when I
have about 3 or 4 pages with text and images is usable, and then, when i
load text in all the 16 pages scrolling, moving boxes, editing text, etc
become very slow.

I'm using an Athlon64 (3500+) with 2GB DDR and a ATi x800gto. I had the same
problems 2 years ago with a Pentium4 1.8 (the eldest generation), and i gave
the blame to the old CPU.

Actually, if I use ArchLinux 64bit with KDE3.5 (or 4.1) it will improve
scribus performance? I would try it, but I have not enough time to repair my
archlinux, so i'm forced to winsows... :(, If you think that using linux
will be more comfortable, i'll spend some time on it

I'm sorry for the mistakes in english!! :) But after 5hours of school and 6
hours of work on a slow scribus i'm quite tired!!

Goodnight! (here in italy is almost midnight ...)

Simone
