# What makes a Miro board less responsive: images, frame count or the number of collaborators?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Real-time collaboration on an infinite canvas is the core of <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/miro/reviews">Miro</a>, so I've been digging into what makes a heavy board less responsive: images, frame count or the number of people editing. What comes up on G2 is that responsiveness changes on boards with many high-resolution images, hundreds of frames or dense sticky-note areas, especially when several people edit at once. The practical answer people give is keeping image-heavy material and very large diagrams in their own clearly separated sections or boards.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Across <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/visual-collaboration-platforms">visual collaboration</a> tools, the deciding factor seems to be what a board is for. A working board for a live session suits Miro's real-time editing, templates for process maps and brainstorms, and AI tools that organise content as it arrives. An archive that holds every image and diagram a project ever produced is a different job, and splitting that out keeps the working board quick for the people on it.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">What I'd like to hear from anyone running large boards:</p><ul>
<li>Were images and embeds the main factor, or sheer object count?</li>
<li>Does tidying an old board help, or is a fresh board the better reset?</li>
<li>Do you keep reference material on a separate board?</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">How do you prepare a board before a large live workshop so it stays responsive with everyone on it?</p>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;Does anyone keep a separate reference board for images and link to it from the working board? Thinking of trying that for our next big session.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
