Rasmus comment is spot on. Also it helps to bake all the circle first. Then split a portion at a time.

Hi Florian. 

Why don't you keep it 2D for the boolean?

Meaning that you will create a perforated plane surface.

Then if you need it in 3D for a rendering(?), you can extrude this surface.

My experience is that doing a lot of 3D booleans is always gonna be heavy, but if so, meshes might be faster to work with.

Cheers Rasmus
