Can I increase the speed of manufacture with VR Milling 2?

When I manufacture a part in VR Milling 2 it seems to take a long time.
This seems worse when I am cutting 3D parts.

Several things can affect manufacturing speed especially when cutting 3D parts. Older machines do not have the abillity to buffer multiple lines of code. Upgrading to VR Milling 5 and a Nextmove card will improve manufacture time probably as much as 10 times faster.
See the post on "How can I upgrade my 80's 90's Machine ?"
Regardless of the age of the machine selecting TURBO mode in the control panel window will speed up manufacture.
Also when manufacturing if the editor window is open the speed will be reduced.
When manufacturing 3D parts open the program then select "File" "Source" "File" and the editor shrinks to one line. Manufacturing speed can be increased by 50% by doing this.
VR Milling 5 has a fast editor that can remain open during manufacture.
