One out of 3, I suspect, if it is assumed to be easier. :-)
Neither method duplicates files, so there is no saving to be had there.
And the symbolic link creates a _larger_ file than the groff redirection
(.so):
$ ln -s /usr/share/man/man1/gawk.1.gz ~/fred
$ ls -l ~/fred
lrwxrwxrwx 1 erik erik 29 2012-12-10 00:44 /home/erik/fred \
-> /usr/share/man/man1/gawk.1.gz
$ ll /usr/share/man/man1/fred.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19 2012-12-09 23:54 /usr/share/man/man1/fred.1
The symlink is about 50% larger, so we're going backwards fast with this
"saving". ;-)

but the speed is accelerating. If the whole icelayer disappears, Greenland will
rise by about one kilometer.
