    Sluggish performance on a certain drawing

      Hi!

       

      One of my co-workers has drawn a shoe (I work in the clothing-business) and is experience huge performance issues on that specific file. We've tried in both CS5.5 and CS6 with no difference.

       

      When I try to rasterize the drawing, Illustrator stops responding. I've tried Simplifying and Cleaning up the paths, but with no lucks. It's not a particularely advanced file, but there seems to be a LOT of paths.

       

      According to the "Document info"-window, there's 110,823 paths (67 open). On another drawing of a shoe (which has some similarities in looks etc.) there's only 86 paths (10 open).

       

      How can I reduce the number of paths? And shouldn't I be able to see all 110,823 paths in the drawing?

       

      Thanks in advance,

      Thomas
