I'm working on a plant that has over 20 tanks with multiple runs of piping connecting the tanks and structure around the tanks.  It's a pretty big assembly.  I'm trying to optimize my models for performance as much as possible.  I've tried: speedpak, supressing unneeded information, large assembly/light weight parts, and a few other things.  I can't help but think that my machine is causing some of my slow processing.
