InDesign also has other display modes that could potentially slow it down: View > Proof Colors, and View > Overprint Preview. You can disable those from the Display Performance submenu. If you’re working in Typical and it still seems like one or more images are in high-quality mode, then those images may have display quality overrides applied to them. Obviously, the higher the quality, the more InDesign has to think and the slower it’ll become. There are three main display modes in InDesign: Fast, Typical, and High Quality (under View > Display Performance). (That’s 50 GB for a 500 GB drive!) InDesign relies on your drive because it writes to the “scratch disk” when it runs out of RAM (this happens far more than you’d expect). Common wisdom says keep 10% of your drive free. Hard drive space can also be a cause of problems, especially if you’re working on a nearly-full drive. I would never try to run InDesign on a machine with less than 2 GB of RAM, and I’m forever cursing that my laptop with 8 GB is not enough (but I’m also constantly running 5 to 10 programs, often including Photoshop, Illustrator, and Word). If you don’t have enough, it will be sluggish or even die. There are many reasons why InDesign might be running slowly, but here’s a quick rundown of things I would try in this situation, more or less in the order I would likely try them. Every little action has about a 5 second delay! It is not my computer, it is specifically inDesign. I am working on a brochure (40 pages, about 180 images).
