Yes, I have had problems as you report on a Mac G4 bi-pro/2Gb RAM:
500 nested groups created on the fly and many crashes when trying to  
nudge another single object or setting its position using the props  
palette entry boxes...
I finished the project using my fast PC laptop without any problem...
