[Mesa-users] advice for removing unwanted outputs in favor of speed

[Francis Timmes]

hi amber,

broadly, minimize i/o. if all plots can be done post-process, eliminate the pgstar writes.
eliminate or minimize what goes into a profile file and the writing of photos.

For instance, I only need about 5 columns in the history.list, and have removed most of the others. I have set my plots to only output every 500 or so, as well as terminal and profile. Are there other things I might not realize can be turned off? Just looking for suggestions.
