You might want to try the compatibility patch I made for Frame 7.x so that
it works better with Windows 7. You can find it here at the end of the
Downloads page:

This application uses a compatibility shim to control settings for the
FrameMaker 7.x executable file. A compatibility shim provides more control
over settings that allow the older version of Frame to work with Windows
7. I've used it for a few years, going back to the Windows Vista days. It
fixes the incompatibilities with the built-in compatibility modes, such as
the slowdown you experienced with the XP compatibility mode. (I had found
exactly the same behavior.)
