Increase performance ("snappiness") when not using some advanced features

Are there any options / settings that I could try toggling to make IQ a little snappier if I don't use all of its features? For example, I do not use tags, not all types of equations, no inheritance, and (at least I think) I don't use conditional formatting. Probably some others as well.

Failing that, what settings would generally have the most impact on how snappy working in grids might feel?

Many thanks!

Split shouldn't move item to bottom of screen

When I split an item, InfoQube re-draws the screen and moves the split item near the bottom of the screen, and part of the item is out of view below the bottom of the screen. 

As a result, I have to constantly scroll back up to get the item to my preferred working area in the top half of the screen.  If you're splitting hundreds of items at a time, it eats up a lot of time.

I did a video of it which includes some additional comments.

Showing calendar full-screen

My calendar currently opens in a pane right of the active grid, with the properties pane making up the right edge of the screen.

While this is nice for viewing a couple of days or a week via the horizontal scroll option, what I've been wanting for a long time now is a quick way to pop up a fullscreen (monthly) calendar view, ideally without it altering (or me having to alter) anything about the existing calendar pane that I use, i. e. an independent month overview in a popup window would be really handy. For all I care, it could even be read-only.

Moving InfoQube document files to new drive

I'm going to try moving my document files to an SSD to see if it'll help with my long-standing buffering problems.  The program itself already runs from the C drive (SSD) but i have my document files on a regular internal hard drive.  I plan to do this:

1) Move .sndb files and associated SNDB folders to the Docs folder on the C drive

2) Launch files from that new location.

Is that all I need to do?

Database rebuild questions

I was finally able to successfully complete a database rebuild.  I have questions about what I'm supposed to do now:

1) Rename rebuild file to original file name (and move original file elsewhere)?

2) Delete rebuild folder for SNDB files (it's empty)?  Revert to using the original SNDB folder?  I'm presuming these files aren't affected by the rebuild.

Couldn't find anything in the manual.
