Hi Gary, so I wouldn't worry too much about having the grid sections set to 800 - I think that you'd need to crank it up a fair amount higher than that before it would really start to have much impact.
If with your current settings you can easily pan and zoom in an empty scene then it's not consuming too many resources for particular machine and that should be fine.
If you crank it up to say upwards of 10,000 sections or something like that maybe it could start to be an issue.

The only thing that really consumes resources is just the visual display of the grid on the screen - the grid snap itself (which can be enabled even when the visual grid display is turned off) does not consume resources itself - the grid snap is based off of just an origin point, axis directions, and a snap size value and snapped locations can be calculated on demand as needed from that information, it's not like there is an actual cube of points created for the grid.
