Simplifying such a shape will make it easier to work with and help Illustrator run more smoothly.

This is how it is done:
With the document window

In the menu bar
- Open your Illustrator project file
- Select or create the shape that you want to simplify.
- In the top menu bar, select Object > Plot > Simplify > Simplify.
- Adjust the level of complexity of the shape and the total number of points using the sliding option.
