Certainly, you can test this, outside of your current, mulitgraphic workflow to try to answer the question:

p= PLOT(RANDOMN(1L, 1000000), layout=[1, 2, 1])
p2= PLOT(RANDOMN(1L, 1000000), layout=[1, 2, 2], /CURR)
tic
;p.symbol=4
p.save, 'test.png'
toc

For me, this took 60 seconds. If I actually plot the points (by adding p.symbol=4), then it takes 121 seconds.

You can then try to add plots to see how the time changes:

You can then add a second plot:
p= PLOT(RANDOMN(1L, 1000000), layout=[1, 2, 1])
p2= PLOT(RANDOMN(1L, 1000000), layout=[1, 2, 2], /CURR)
tic
;p.symbol=4 & p2.symbol =4
p.save, 'test.png'
toc

Without plotting the individual points, it takes 55 seconds (?!); plotting each point, it takes 175 seconds.

These simple tests will allow you to figure out where the problem may be, and help answer your questions.
