# Application performance optimization tips

**Unnecessary parallel branches in Flows**

* Try to minimize parallel branches, as this will decrease active cursors and improve Work-Relay performance.

**Triggers/SF\_Flows\_Processes on Work-Relay Objects**

* Do not use triggers, Salesforce flows, or Salesforce processes on Work-Relay Objects such as:
  * `Flow_Instance__c`
  * `Flow_Instance_Cursor__c`
  * `Flow_Instance_History__c`

It may negatively impact Work-Relay performance.

**Fields Update**

* Check and remove unnecessary field updates.
