You did not do as we asked by posting any stats on file sizes and image sizes nor images sizes by generating a simple directory listing of the Text and Images directory. Nor did you post a sample epub of just one chapter again as you said you would.
We can not help you if you do not, as we tried to recreate the problem but found we have no problems handling large epubs with many images that are properly formatted.
If you want help, simply post the sample epub we asked for so that we can recreate the issue. If you are just writing to complain, please do that someplace else as no one else can recreate what you are seeing.

Is my epub large? Not if it was a website. When it was text only I could manage the editor but as I began to add 2 to four 700 pixel wide images per page sigil became unusable.
Google shows me I am not alone. Many others have the same trouble. So I purchased Jutoh and that works just fine.
ls -l myhd.epub reveals:

I have 22 chapters or epub *.xhtml sections averaging something like 4000 words each. On those 22 pages or sections I currently have a total 50 or so images. Boat building is complex and I need to add even more. All said images come from original jpegs almost 4000 pixels wide so I can knock them down to any size. I'm running with 700 pixels now because that's what I use on my boat building website.
I wish the sigil developers luck. But I do think they are going to have to fix the software. I am not the only one who has found it so slow it is not unusable. A keyword search on "sigil too slow" reveals many links, including other threads in this forum.
So. I conclude my trouble was NOT due to user error. That's my wrapup report. I am still a big fan of epub, especially epub3. But ........... I'm a bit sour on sigil right now, especially so because Jutoh works so well.
