In fact, in this x4 foundations performance guide, there are some options used in order to reduce CPU usage. This game is huge and needs to calculate a lot of data every second in order to provide you with all the info about every station and ship around the sectors. You need always this informations to run successful trading operations.

In this case, if you have 20 or more reputation with a faction and you already took the promotion you can buy from faction representative the trading subscription. This one will calculate all prices of all wares in real time if you using pricing filter or when one of your trading ships need the info where to buy or sell.
As a consequence, this tweak alone will increase a lot your X4 Foundations fps counter making more enjoyable this game.
