Settings to improve Onshape performance

I recently created a model that had a lot of primitives and was giving me serious performance issues as it would take around a minute to update any change. Trying to export it as an stl under fine resolution resulted in a 1GB file(This isn't as much of an issue as I can just export under a lower resolution). Is there some settings I can select that would speed up Onshape. If there aren't any such settings, are there any CAD practices I should follow to avoid such problems in the first place?

having one giant part with a lot of primitives may be hard to speed up, but it depends if it's a regeneration issue, or a graphics issue. if it's multiple parts, then there are definitely ways. You can also look at the stopwatch icon to see which operation is taking the most time, and then figure out more from there.
One way is to set up a configuration that suppresses features that create lots of primitives. E.g., the features that create 10k holes or complex knurls or whatever.
