# General

|Goal|Best Practice|
|----|-------------|
|Avoiding sharing computations|Avoid having any user own more than 10,000 records.|
|Improving performance|Use a data-tiering strategy that spreads data across multiple objects, and brings in data on demand from another object or external store.|
|Reducing the time it takes to create full copies of production sandboxes with large data volumes|When creating copies of production sandboxes, exclude field history if it isn’t required, and don’t change a lot of data until the sandbox copy is created.|
|Making deployments more efficient|Distribute child records so that no parent has more than 10,000 child records. For example, in a deployment that has many contacts but does not use accounts, set up several dummy accounts and distribute the contacts among them.|
