Tuning VP for performance

The performance of diagrams with ~100 objects is very low (and it’s not PC performance issue).
Can you share any tricks to tune VP or JRE?
VP is my main tool so I can accept JRE config tailored especialy for VP.

Thank you in advance

There are couple of reasons could lead to performance issue, e.g. size of the diagram itself (number of elements & connectors), how model elements being organized in project, memory setting, etc… The articles below provide some help on this topic. Hope this can help to your case.

How to organize model elements

Adjust memory setting

I came to this topic after I had reverse engineered several large Java modules into my model, after which, editing diagrams had become very slow and tedious. Even selecting a shape in a small diagram exhibited delays of up to 20 seconds. For anyone who may have similar issues, I can verify that one of the suggestions given here by Rain really helped me.
Although most of the imported objects were in a nested Model, the data entities, (about 100), that were imported were all at the root level. I created a new Model and moved those entities into it, saved the file and restarted VP. That seems to have done the trick. I can now edit diagrams without any noticeable delay.
