This was asked not too long ago. Here is a link to the thread:

In short, more bodies will almost always mean slower times. Especially for complex shapes

> Hello, so I have an issue with slow performance with alot of bodies in the work space. Ive been using the text feature, which I really like but I run into the issue of major slow downs. I got a mid spec surface nook 3 15 in with 16 gb of ram and dedecated graphics card. Im going to try a diffrent laptop but is anyone else getting slow downs?

My suggestion would be to try and make the shape in chunks, rather than all at once.
