• Are you Placing/Linking to your images? (You should not embed them by copying/pasting, etc.) If you are copying/pasting (embedding) a lot of vector artwork, that can slow things down too.

• Turn off View->Overprint Preview until you need it

• Try saving images as 300 dpi JPEGs (no compression) or flattened TIFs

• Occasionally, do Save As in InDesign, which will lower the file size, or Export to .idml and open as a new .indd file

• Is this for print or digital use only? For print, color photos should be CMYK, digital: RGB (smaller file size)
