Does the usage of symbols improve illustrator performance?



I create quite big illustrations with a lot of small complex symbols/icons in it, for example different kinds of servers etc. Some icons/symbols are used multiple times in one illustration. Would it improve the performance of illustrator if I convert those icons to illustrator-symbols and use those ones? From my point of view illustrator would only have to save the location of a reference to a symbol instead of all the details of the icon...



Answer



I'd imagine so, but whether you'd notice the difference is another matter. Sounds like you should be using symbols anyway given your use case.
