Warning
The settings in this section can have extreme effects on the performance of your client. We don't recommend touching these settings unless you have a good understanding of what you're doing, or you're directed to do so by a member of the JourneyMap support staff.
If tweaking these settings crashes your client or causes your computer to lag horribly, don't say we didn't warn you.
