Very slow loading of FM6 files into FM9

I noticed that FM9 was opening files much more slowly than previous FM 
versions and attributed it to the fact that FM9 was preloading all graphics 
at file open, instead of loading them only when I loaded the particular page 
in a file. I wrote Adobe about it and got this response:

=====================
You might have the "Insets Pod" open in your default workspace which causes 
all insets to load at the open of the document. To check whether this is a 
cause, please do the following:

1. Make sure "Hide Panels on Close" is unselected in the "File --> 
Preferences --> Interface" dialog (see InterfacePreferences.jpg).
2. Open any file (if not already opened) such that workspace loads.
3. Close the "Insets Pod" from the workspace (see InsetsPod.jpg)
4. Once you have done these steps, you should see graphics loading only on 
demand and not on open.

Hope that helps,
