Improve performance

Due to the just-in-time (JIT) compilation of Julia, the instantiation of the EnergyModelsGUI window takes some time (but reopening the window will take less time). This also includes interactive features in the GUI (creating the first plot is a lot slower than creating subsequent plots).

That being said, it is possible to boost startup time by turning of redundant features. One can for example plot sub-areas only on demand (which for large system significantly reduces setup of the GUI) through

gui = GUI(case; pre_plot_sub_components = false)

If there is no need to use the background map when using EnergyModelsGeography one can skip the usage of GeoMakie (this will also increase performance)

gui = GUI(case; use_geomakie = false)

If the user do not see any usage of the DataInspector tool provided by Makie (which enables information of plot objects upon hovering with the mouse) one could use the enable_data_inspector toogle to further improve performance

gui = GUI(case; enable_data_inspector = false)

It is also possible to use a simplified plotting of the Links/Transmissions using the simplified_connection_plotting which improves performance slightly. This option is however more motivated by simplified visuals. One can also use simplify_all_levels to have this simplified plotting on all levels (not just the top level).

gui = GUI(case; simplified_connection_plotting = true, simplify_all_levels = true)
