All : Thanks for suggestions.
Charles : I use only png - both when creating bitmap copies and when importing 'stick-ons'.
I need 300dpi for the 'human element' in the foreground and clients love the level of detail, so drawings grew larger over the last 10 years or so since I have exclusively used Xara for all my work. Of course there is no other software to even come close to Xara, if you needed this testimonial.
And Pro moves really faster, during work.
My way to deal with the 'impediment' of often-saving-large-files is to be working simoultaneously on two computers, side by side.
Again, I was trying to see if there was anything on the system / technical side that could be done to still speed things up.
I respect your prompt, as always, response.
