Use proxy only if the original map's largest dimension is greater than ...
pixels. Lets you indicate that bitmaps smaller than the size you specify are
not to be reduced. Downscaling smaller maps isn't particularly efficient or
useful.
To ensure that the system creates proxies for all bitmaps, set this to 0.
Render Mode Lets you determine whether to use the proxies at render time.
The options, available from the drop-down list, are self-descriptive:
■ Render with Proxies (High Performance, Low Memory)
■ Render with Full Resolution Images and Keep them In Memory (High
Performance, High Memory)
■ Render with Full Resolution Images and Free them from Memory (Low
Performance, Low Memory)

File I/O on page 7524 and edit the BitmapProxies entry.
