How can I improve scroll performance in workspaces with 100's of objects, in the embedded browser in Pro/E?
Now that we have deployed Windchill Intralink 9.1, users are complaining that scrolling is extremely slow.
I've searched PTC's knowledgebase, and they indicate that using the embedded Mozilla browser is the best solution.
However, it appears that this requires a later release of Wildfire.
We are currently using WIldfire 3, but do intend to upgrade to Wildfire 5 (CE Pro 5).
PTC also has a bunch of TPI's & TAN's on this subject, but it's not clear as to which ones have the best practical impact.
Any advice?

Thanks to everyone that replied.
Lots of great advice out there.
I have implimented many of your recommendations, and we are already seeing improvements.
I could use some more advice.
Our remote (WAN) users still need perfromance improvement.
The main problem is the time it takes to load a Windchill web page.
Things like searching are very quick, but it takes 6-10 seconds to display the results, whereas our local users see the display in 1-2 seconds.
Similalrly, adding files to workspace is quick, but displaying them is very slow.
This is ocurring both inside of Pro/E as well as outside (Internet Explorer).
Info: We have a mix of mostly 64-bit and a few 32-bit users, all running Windows XP (or x64) at the latest service pack, and patched updates monthly.
Nearly all have Internet Explorer 8, while a few have 7.
Wildfire 3 m240 with Windchill Intralink 9.1 M060.
McAfee Enterprise 8.8.
