- For low-spec devices like Raspberry Pi, [reducing the concurrency](/docs/configuration/yazi#tasks) will make Yazi faster since the default configuration is optimized for PCs, and high concurrency on these low-spec devices may have the opposite effect.
- For users who don't need accurate mime-type, [`mime-ext.yazi`](https://github.com/yazi-rs/plugins/tree/main/mime-ext.yazi) may be useful, as it simply returns mime-type based on file extensions, while Yazi defaults to obtaining mime-type based on file content for accuracy. Mime-type is used for matching opening, previewing, rendering rules. Encourage users to choose an appropriate `mime` plugin based on their needs, which is why we decided to open it up to plugin developers.
- For high-performance terminal emulators, lowering the [`image_delay` option](/docs/configuration/yazi/#preview.image_delay) or setting it to 0 can reduce image preview latency.

## Using Yazi as Your Default File Manager/Chooser

The `xdg-desktop-portal-termfilechooser` backend lets you replace the default file picker with a terminal-based one like **Yazi**, providing seamless integration with applications, including Firefox. For installation steps, refer to the [installation guide](https://github.com/boydaihungst/xdg-desktop-portal-termfilechooser?tab=readme-ov-file#installation) and additional instructions available there.
