Performance issues with embedding files?

Does it matter from a performance perspective if you embed a bunch of large
files in a OneNote notebook?

My group uses OneNote heavily -- both local notebooks on our hard-drives and
some shared notebooks. Many people are embedding files in their OneNote pages
-- XLS, DOC, PDF, PPT, etc. They range in size from small (10-100 KB) to
large (several MB).

I have been encouraging people to put the files on the network and link to
them instead of embedding them in OneNote. But that was based on an
assumption that I am now questioning... and I am hoping folks here can
dispell for me. Does it matter from a performance perspective if you embed a
bunch of large files in a OneNote notebook? I ask because I'm not actually
seeing a performance hit -- for instance, the RAM usage for such a notebook
isn't becoming outrageous at all, and I'm not *feeling* slow performance
switching between pages with large embeded files either (not graphics
displayed in the notes, I mean attached files that become part of the .one
files).

Thanks!
