## Performance Issues

This section lists some things that can improve the performance of XTrkCad.

- Use a hardware Floating Point Unit.
- To speed up initialization, remove unused parameter files (see Parameter Files dialog).
- During moves and rotates, draw tracks Simply or as End-Points, (see the Command Options dialog). Also Zoom In to reduce the number of tracks that are being displayed.
- If you have to move a lot of track a large distance, create a temporary track at the destination and use the Join command to move the selected track to join with the temporary track. Then remove the temporary track.
- Close the Map window if you don't need it to move about the layout. The Window menu can be used reopen the Map window.
- On the Display dialog turn off drawing End-Points, decrease the Two Rail Scale, increase Min Grid Spacing and turn off Live Map.
- Close any other unused applications.
