If you have one of each prop, it won't make any difference. If you have two or more of each prop, you will make the memory use increase, not decrease. See those two VHS tapes? (Well, I think they're VHS tapes.) That is one copy of the geometry in memory. If you export it and re-import it, there will be two copies.
As far as the renderer is concerned, it makes no difference. Even morphs make no difference to the renderer. The final morphed geometry is sent to the renderer, same as what is used to show you a preview.
Note that external binary morphs that you're not using (value = 0) are not loaded into memory.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
