I learned pretty quickly when using Vis to produce architectural renderings, I would have a set of drawings in upwards of 8MB. Things would move slow... The more detail you provide, the more coplex your shapes become. The will come a point at which you are forced to dumb-down your shape creation techniques.

Try comparing the total memory consumed when dropping 100 instances on a page. Or measure the time needed to add 100 instances. The runtime performance is also critical.
