This is a common problem and Digital Editions beta detects this. When you see a slowdown, check "Item info" and if you see this message: "Document contains a resource which is too long", there is a good chance that this book won't be fully readable on handhelds.

Well, most of the samples files that I've seen around used a single file too. In our case we use multiple .xml files but a single one for the main content of the book.
I've just tried opening War and Peace in DE 1.5 (that's usually my worst case scenario) and although it gets pretty slow when you open the main content, I don't get the warning.
I could make some work on the way we generate our files, but in some cases, we'd still get very long flows (for example a book from Proust or Ulysses from James Joyce).
Edit: Maybe you did not translated the alerts ?
