Thanks Kosta, THIS is why I like LyX-users list. I'll definitely keep my eye out for problems with slow rendering. I have no access to evince so I can't test that, but I can sure test Acroread. I'll keep in mind to think twice before PDFizing graphics with lots of layers or gradients. Most of my diagrams are rather simple, but I'll keep my eyes open. Thanks for the heads-up.
