This section provides guidelines and Tuning Options to optimize memory usage and performance when analyzing different types of codebases with Fortify Static Code Analyzer.

Fortify Static Code Analyzer can take a long time to process complex projects. The time is spent in different phases:

Translation
Analysis

Fortify Static Code Analyzer can produce large analysis result files (FPRs), which can take a long time to audit and upload to Fortify Software Security Center. This is referred to as the following phase:

Audit/Upload
The following table lists tips on how to improve performance in the different time-consuming phases.

Phase	Option	Description	More Information
Translation	`-export-build-session` `-import-build-session`	Translate and scan on different machines	Mobile Build Sessions
Analysis	`-quick`	Run a quick scan	Quick Scan
Analysis	`-scan-precision`	Set the scan precision	Configuring Scan Speed with Speed Dial
Analysis	`-bin`	Scan the files related to a binary	Breaking Down Codebases
Analysis	`-Xmx<size>M` \| `G`	Set maximum heap size	Memory Tuning
Analysis	`-Xss<size>M` \| `G`	Set stack size for each thread	Memory Tuning
Analysis Audit/Upload	`-filter <file>`	Apply a filter using a filter file	Using Filter Files
Analysis Audit/Upload	`-disable-source-bundling`	Exclude source files from the FPR file	Excluding Source Code from the FPR
