I'm working on a Presentation with 17 slides.  The presentation has a number
of tables, graphics, and logo.  I have on the Master Slide a graphic that is
set as a Washout in the background.  I noticed that everything is extremely
slow when I switch from slide to slide.  I have run a detect and repair, I
ran the regserver switch (still not sure why, but someone told me to), I
restarted the machine and everything is slow every time I go from slide to
slide.  Someone told me to change the hardware acceleration, but I was not
able to do it.  If i remove the background picture it goes a bit faster when
switching from slide to slide, but I need that picture in the background.  
This was not happening before with other presentations.  

Is there any other setting I should be looking at?

Thanks,
