Anything regarding a document has to be loaded into the memory of your computer. Not just the items you see on your screen, but also a lot of other stuff that you just take for granted to be there at your need. The more memory your computer has the less likely you are to experience any slow down in performance, but it's there. So if you keep al lot of actions in your 'undo-steps' or 'recorded changes' you will at some point experience a dropdown in the performance of your computer.
