Scott-- 

Because InDesign maintains an "Undo queue" to provide unlimited undo, performance will decline over time. Saving won't actually help you, though *Saving As* might. (You should also check your default display settings. High Resolution display slows down more than just imported graphics.) 

The hard drive speed is also significant, as InDesign writes to disk *all of the time* to provide the undo/crash recovery capabilities. 

I would not go the PDF route unless I absolutely had to do so. I'd probably try creating smaller documents and then chaining them together for printing or PDF output using the Book feature. 

Thanks, 

Ole
