<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=483371821-27032006>I have a large area
of .sid photography. To keep their footprint small, I compressed them
100:1. They still look great, but it takes 7-10 seconds for them to
appear. I have other .sid photos at 20:1 that seem much faster. Is
this because of the compression ratio? Is there a compression ratio at
which the compression begins to become such an issue?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
