Bingo! Mine was set to 1.25 by default. I turned it down to 0.7 and my FPS shot up quite a bit. Before, when I turned in South Serbule, it would drop to 12 to 15 FPS for a couple of seconds before shooting back up to 55 FPS. If I held still, I would bounce between 42 and 55. Once I turned the Entity Animation Distance to 0.7, now I get between 55 and 65 FPS and when I turn, it drops to 32 FPS for a few seconds.

It's still laggy, but nowhere near as bad, and the slide-show frame by frame issue has gone away when walking across the area. Nicely done.
