Thank you for your ideas so far.

I tried and researched a little bit more - splitting up the css surprisingly did not help. It seems it's the combination of both every element (and word) being absolutely positioned, scaling and css issues - I redid manually a few first pages in Sigil to take control over the source code and that one loads nicely and fast. Which is a real shame for Indesign.

I also looked into MathML, for performance and size issues would like to get rid of as much images and redundant css as possible - I guess there is no fast way of doing it. The fastest way to get nearly anything acceptable seems to be lots of regex and still get MathML going - most of the symbols are actually not that complicated, having {a over b} and later replacing them all with mathml syntax will indeed mean lot's of work but also finally a solution.

As for splitting up the "chapters" - if it's fixed layout, each page is a separate xhtml anyway, no?
