Same here, but with a much larger file (ours is around 100Mb - but did you mean 17Mb rather than 17kb?).
Using the Views to just go between plan views takes, I guess, 15-20 seconds to just start to draw anything - VERY frustrating! The machines are MacPros or G5 Macs, with 2Gb RAM each.
We have a few hotlinked modules, so this could be a common theme… might be worth removing them to see if things speed up.
We're on Macs, so nothing in common there.
Ours is a Teamwork file, which can cause problems, but I suspect your file is not shared if it's so small.
Sorry this hasn't been much help. If I get a chance to experiment with the hotlinks I'll post an update.
