+# Program Slows Down and Send Freezes
+
+If you notice slowness while running your program, it may mean UGS is running out of available memory. There are a couple things to try:
+
+1. Check the controller settings, and make sure "Arc Expander" is not enabled. This can take a small program and turn it into a very large one by converting arcs into many small movements.
+2. Increase the memory allocated to UGS by navigating the the intsallation directory (See paths above). There is a folder named `etc` containing `ugsplatform.conf`, open this file with a simple text editor and modify the value of Xms to something like `-J-Xms256m`, or larger.
