+# Performance
+
+Some users have noticed that current versions of OCRmyPDF do not run as
+quickly as some older versions (specifically 6.x and older). This is
+because OCRmyPDF added image optimization as a postprocessing step, and
+it is enabled by default.
+
+## Speed
+
+If running OCRmyPDF quickly is your main goal, you can use settings such
+as:
+
+-   `--optimize 0` to disable file size optimization
+-   `--output-type pdf` to disable PDF/A generation
+-   `--fast-web-view 999999` to disable fast web view optimization
+-   `--skip-big` to skip large images, if some pages have large images
+
+You can also avoid:
+
+-   `--force-ocr`
+-   Image preprocessing
