[Framers] slow-scrolling images

Slow scrolling due to slow image rendering has been an issue in
FrameMaker forever.

Has anyone ever experimented with scrolling through a test document on
various PCs to see whether the bottleneck is CPU speed, video card
horsepower, disk speed, or something else?

I suspect that FrameMaker is rendering pages itself using some code
that hasn't been updated in 30 years, so CPU might be the bottleneck.
Code that old might be single-threaded, so more cores would not help.
