Game Optimization
Game optimization refers to the optimization of certain aspects of the Hud to increase the average FPS of the user. Traditional understanding of Hud optimization has suggested that there is very little a Hud developer can do to increase game performance through Hud editing. While this is mostly true, recent discoveries have pushed the possible performance benefits of custom Huds, slightly further than previously thought (still only around ~5%).
Xhud includes a toggleable "Optimize Mode" (actually just cl_hud_minmode 1), which implements the commonly known Hud optimizations such as: not drawing the 3D player model (except when disguised), not drawing the Steam friends list on the main menu, and not drawing the Casual XP gained on the main menu.

A recent development in the understanding of Hud optimization is animation nullification, where default animations are replaced with blank animations. This results in a performance improvement about equal to the aforementioned methods, essentially doubling what was previously thought to be possible with Hud optimizations.
