Limiting Levels

After importing over 200 images (most 72x72) they each reside on separate levels (as expected). Any efficiency gained by reassigning them to a more limited number of levels? (Say 10 levels?)

Re: best practice regarding behavior references?

changing the label is enough.
Yes! This is a good and simple solution.
