# 1.8 Performance Issues

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

- On the View dialog (Section 3.3.11) turn off Show Snap Grid or Change Grid... to have fewer grid points.

- To speed up initialization, remove unused parameter files (See Parameter Files dialog - Section 2.5.7).

- Close the Map window if you don't need it to move about the layout. The Window (Section 2.13) menu can be used reopen the Map window.

- On the Display dialog (Section 2.10.3) turn off drawing Endpoints, decrease the Two Rail Scale, increase Min Grid Spacing, set Draw Ties to None and turn off Live Map.
