[PCB_FORUM] Dynamic Planes on Large Boards

All
      My apologies if this has already been covered on this forum.
 
     Does anyone have any tips for dealing with dynamic planes on large
boards?
I like the features it offers but chews up too much memory.
 
These are some of the things I do to reduce processing time....
 
1. Work on a local disk rather than swapping across a network.
2. Use straight rather than round acute angles.
3. In the case of external planes... push out the clearances in order to
minimize the complexity of the plane.
4. In the case of edits to a layer with an existing dynamic plane...
       Disable the dynamic shapes and move off to the side until the
edits are done, then move back and change to smooth.
 
Maybe the rough mode has some benefits?
Any other methods?
