second 
between pressing the remote's NEXT button and the next slide actually
appearing. 
Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?


It could be that the client's doing something wrong.  Look at the file
size vs. the 
content of the file.  Does it seem out of line?  Too big a file for the
number of 
pictures and such?  It might be that they've used much larger pictures
than is 
necessary.  This can slow down slide changes.

Another trick is to step through the presentation once before presenting
it before 
giving the real presentation.  That forces PPT to create the needed screen
images 
and cache them;  the next time you visit the slide (ie, when you give the 
presentation for real) slide changes should be much quicker.

This only holds true if you don't quit PPT between the run-through and
actual show.
