+# Optional Speedups
+
+Moonraker supports two optional Python packages that can be used to reduce
+its CPU load:
+
+- [msgspec](https://github.com/jcrist/msgspec): Replaces the builtin `json`
+  encoder/decoder.  Requires Python >= 3.8.
+- [uvloop](https://github.com/MagicStack/uvloop/): Replaces the default asyncio
+  eventloop implementation.
+
+If these packages are installed in Moonraker's python environment Moonraker will
+load them.  For existing installations this can be done manually with a command
+like:
+
+```
+~/moonraker-env/bin/pip install -r ~/moonraker/scripts/moonraker-speedups.txt
+```
+
+After installing the speedup packages it is possible to revert back to the
+default implementation by specifying one or both of the following
+environment variables in [moonraker.env](#the-environment-file):
+
+- `MOONRAKER_ENABLE_MSGSPEC="n"`
+- `MOONRAKER_ENABLE_UVLOOP="n"`
+
+
 ### PolicyKit Permissions
 
 Some of Moonraker's components require elevated privileges to perform actions.
