Slow opening of cards in .exe file

[Len Morgan]

I have had the same problem all the way back to XP.  But it is only a 
problem the first time I navigate away from card 1.  It can pause a LONG 
time before it goes to the selected card (and I've only got 10 or so in 
the stack) but after that first "switch" it's pretty zippy.  Even on 
Windows 7.
