Dear experts,

When I’m using mrview to browse my tck file, mrview becomes very laggy, even though my tck file only has 50,000 streamlines. My laptop’s chip is M4pro, running memory is 24G. I would like to know if this is normal, Or what settings can be turned on to optimize browsing.  
Hoping for anyone’s suggestions.  
I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Yufeng

Hi Yufeng,

I’ve experienced that in the past and [this solution](https://community.mrtrix.org/t/issues-with-pseudotube-rendering-on-apple-m1-macs/4505) fixed the issue for me.

Best,  
Simone
