Sorry - that isn't very clear is it.

Actually, while we do have inlines, I really was refering to non-inline graphic frames (those that are fixed at specific locations). It would be nice if either/both types could be "batch inserted" and then have the text reflow. However, I expect that it's even less likely for it to work for inlines than non-inlines. Both of them suffer from poor performance when inserting/moving things near the beginning of the story (as you might expect, since ID has to reflow the entire rest of the story). We have already applied as many performance enhancements as we can come up with, such as:
- inserting inline graphics from the back of the story to the front (that way we only need to perform one 'Find' operation to find all of the insertion points)
- placing as many of the non-inline graphics in the document BEFORE loading the text.

Unfortunately, all of the inline, and many of the non-inline graphics must be inserted after the text has been loaded. Delaying / turning off the 'auto-reflow' is the thing that would seem to give us the greatest performance improvement, but I'm certainly open to other suggestions. Thanks,

-- Greg
