Visual waveform slow to download

How come whenever I open a prodject, that I haven't accessed in a while, the waveform starts out all greyed out and then slowly appears.  The longer the prodject is the longer it takes.  Can I fix this by making an adjustment on my video card?  I know I've got some pretty old equiptment, but I just thought I'd see if I could get this solved.
 
Thank you guys in advance...

    Your PC isn't cutting edge. I don't know what you mean by "slowly" (20 seconds or three minutes), but my guess is that the situation is normal. Isn't it logical that the longer the project, the longer the process takes? The waveform video is not saved with the project as a picture, but SONAR redraws it every time. I don't think any videocard tweaks are useful.

    Have you taken care of your PCs hygiene? Defragging the HD, checking and removing spyware and other malware, and not having any unnecessary programs running at the same time.

    Maybe the picture cache is full?
