What features of a bow have you guys learned that speeds your bows up?

Low set is a big one for me but honestly, I think proper tiller shape is more important. What things have yall all noticed?

Pat B:
I've never thought about speed when I build bows. Either they are shooters or they are good shooters.
 That said, I think narrow, light tips, reflexed limbs with reflexed tips, well balanced limbs and a good heat treated belly while reflexing.

Jim Davis:
As little mass as possible in the outer limbs. Pyramid design makes that easier.

Assuming you mean "speeds your arrow up".....
Does it matter if the arrow is a high gpp arrow or a lower gpp?
