Because of the 2727 limit on the number of resources the

Note that this limit is slightly lower in real life: 2727 is the most
resources you can get into a resource file with only one resource type. I
think I remember concluding that you drop--on average--about 1.5 resources
in capacity per additional type (obviously, the drop is in integral numbers
of resources...two, then one, then two, etc).


Also note that access slowdown is guaranteed if there are more than a few hundred of any one type.

What I find beautiful about resources is the way Rez can use .h file constants in .r files and the ability to define custom resources which exactly match C structs.
