My large assembly in SolidWorks (500+ parts) is so slow it's almost unusable. I use Lightweight mode and SpeedPak, but rebuilding and rotating still lags. What are your secret tactics for restoring sanity?

In SolidWorks, my boss keeps asking for "quick" design changes. I made a simple bracket, but adjusting the hole pattern or flange length breaks everything. What's a robust way to set up my sketches and features so the model updates predictably?
