+    Boolean operations are performed on triangle meshes, and not on
+    exact curved surfaces. This often results in poor mesh quality. An
+    equally good mesh might have been achieved with fewer triangles,
+    if the curves were piecewise-linear approximated differently. Or
+    the mesh may contain long skinny triangles.
+
+    This means that the exported STL files do not contain a high
+    quality mesh. This is generally not a problem, but could be in
+    some applications.
+
+    Another consequence is that the program runs slower as the number
+    of triangles increases. To obtain a coarser mesh, increase the chord
+    tolerance in the configuration screen.
+
+    To improve speed and mesh quality, draw the part using fewer Boolean
+    operations. For example, a plate with a hole might be modeled
+    by extruding the plate, and then cutting the hole with a second
+    extrusion. Instead, make a single sketch with both the outline of
+    the plate and the hole, and extrude only once.
