There is some unspoken, undocumented, limit and once you have so many objects that limit is passed, AI just gets horribly, horribly slow. The slow down is generally due to screen redraw. So, if you can limit the need for the preview to redraw, things should be faster.
When you work with an embedded bitmap image and your system doesn’t have enough RAM, Illustrator uses hard disk space as a scratch disk.
