Thanks for the advice, all. Ultimately it was a system issue because of the way I have things set up. I have both the database and pictures on an external drive so I can use it on both my desktop and laptop. I share that picture folder so I can map it as a network drive and then in File->File Tools->Manage Pictures, I set it to point to that mapped drive. On a whim, I copied the database and pictures to my laptop, and reset where the pictures are pointed too. That sped things up greatly. On my desktop, I set the picture path to where they are on the external drive (instead of the mapped drive), and that also sped things up.
