- disable fulltext index (Options → Preferences → Linked files → Fulltext Index → ...)
42+
- disable time stamps (Options → Preferences → General → Time Stamp → ...)
43+
- disable field formatters (Library → Library Properties → Saving → Save actions → ...)
44+
- disable autosave (Options → Preferences → File → Saving → ...)
45+
- disable count of items in group (Options → Preferences → Groups → ...)
