+{{ii}} Press Shift and D, enter <code>fps</code>, and check if your FPS is unsatisfactory. If so, do the following:
+# Run as few other programs as possible in the background. Quit web browsers and other unneeded applications. This frees up memory and computing power.
+# The best way to make Avadon faster is to reduce the size of the play area. On the Video Mode window that comes up when you launch the game, choose to play in a window and then select a small size for the window. Alternately, run the game, select Game Options on the title screen, and set Game Area Size to Small.
+# You can turn down the graphics detail, which can result in speed increases. Run the game, select Game Options on the title screen, and set Graphics Extra Details to Don't Draw.
