ASSEMBLY, SUB-ASSEMBLY, DRAWING.
(OP)
I WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS A WAY YOU CAN TAKE A LARGER ASSEMBLY, SELECT A FEW SUB-ASSEMBLIES THAT REFFERENCE ONE AND OTHERS DIMENTIONS AND INSERT THEM INTO A DRAWING? THE WAY I HAVE BEEN DOING IT IS TAKING THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY, INSERTING IT INTO A DRAWING AND HIDING WHAT I DONT NEED. BUT IT SEEMS THAT WHEN I DO THIS IT DRASTICLY SLOWS EVERYTHING DOWN.

Maybe you could post your computer specs, as that may be part of the problem.

Hidden components are still loaded and processed even though you do not see them. Suppressed components are not loaded or processed. Therefore you get more of a performance boost from suppressing a component than from simply hiding it.
The other advantage of making a configuration for the drawing is that what is present in a configuration is less likely to get changed than what is being hidden. Although display states can be used to make show / hide a bit more stable.
