In the epsImport stack there is an field named
"bezier resolution". This field determines
the number of straight line segments used to
draw the curves in Adobe Illustrator files.

Test with low numbers (16 to 32) and high (128 to 256)
and take note of the effect on the appareance and
the redraw of the graphics.

I know about your Golf game. Are you making your
Golf courses as vector drawings?

I have not notice delays when the graphics are
grouped.
Anyway, it could be more interesting if you compare
the scroll of big groups of graphics, with the
scroll of big groups of images.

Newer versions of Adobe Illustrator are scriptables
with applescript in mac and another language in
windows. You could export every graphic as an image 
with a series of commands. I still had to learn how
to take full advantage of this extraordinary
capability.
