Unfortunately, I have no suggestions...
instead I may add my session
(presentation, of course differs from real session):

Why so giant MemoryInUse = 22MB, and MaxMemoryUsed = 158 MB?!

Why so large and variable Timing?! The file ref24.jpg is
50709 Bytes, and I've  omitted output of Show, of course.

Notebook itself when saved is only of 8358 B.

Thanks,
Zak

All,
I import  a 37kByte jpeg file...

Timing[Show[Import ["name.jpg"]]]

and it takes Mathematica 30 seconds to do this!? (25 sec. for a bmp
file).

- wmf is only supported for export.

Any suggestions?

thanks
Oliver
