Freezing v Archiving

Is there any practical difference between the 2?

Currently, any MIDI track in a project is bounced to audio, prior to mixing, then I archive the original MIDI/Audio tracks.

So are there any other benefits in terms of system resources etc to be gained by freezing synths?

Can you freeze AND archive?

    Freezing essentially converts the MIDI to audio output. Really I haven't gotten too much in the way of gains in performance. But then again I don't run any more than 4 or five midi tracks at the most. Usually just two.

    Archiving has made a bigger difference for me when I am working on a large number of tracks with a lot of plugins in the project. By archiving the track those plugins no longer are used. I get a performance gain there. As for Freezing and Archiving. Yes you can use freeze and archive together in a track.
