Corridor processing speed

Question

Hi, 
 
 I have a very long corridor (aprox 18km) where I am trying to model some fill around some tunnel elements. For that I am using parametric constraints and key stations so I can keep my number of templates to a minimum and the template drops the same. 
 But lately I have noticed that my model is painfully slow. If I am trying to draw some civil geometry like a simple line, it takes around 1-2min to process and it's just a simple line. Also when I change the stationing for a template drop or do a new one it takes a long amount of time. 
 To be fair so far I have 154 key stations, 36 template drops and 200 parameters and I am only at a quarter along the alignment. 
 
 So are there any settings to sped up the model? I am using OpenRoads CE 2020 R3. Thank you.

 You will actually find the links to the first two on the third. Unfortunately, some of the techniques might need to be implemented on new Corridors as opposed to retrofitting and existing corridor. This next link is an old document, written for V8i Ss3 but many of its suggestions are still valid.
