Jeremy,
I think you need to slow down the animations. I am on a broadband connection
(cable modem), but I didn't get many of the graphics downloaded before the
slides changed. In fact, on one slide, the arrows hadn't even downloaded
before the page changed :( You might want to check and see if the graphics
are optimized for web use. One possibility might be that the graphics are
larger in size than they need to be for the window in which they are
playing.
I had another thought... it is possible that the slow down is on your
server? Check your usage stats and see if your bandwidth usage is high -
that might affect things too.
Have you thought about doing some kind of interactive recording of the
presentation instead of just running the presentation? It might work
better....
