Herbert,

That's interesting, and I'll see if the bitmapped graphic fits the same
space as the vector one. I've not known of pdftocairo.

The slow loading (about 14 seconds) in the compiled document is one issue.
The more serious one now is with LyX itself: it now hangs when I click the
'Select' button on the open file dialog box or the 'Browse' button on the
graphic insert dialog box. LyX consumes 100% of the CPU core and all I can
do is kill the process. Started a couple of days ago and had never before
occurred.

Thanks,

Rich
