+### Optimization
+
+Suppose you want to run a test which needs the _CUBE_ server, database, and oxidicom, but you don't need to be able to run plugins.
+You can omit the workers and pfcon from startup, which can improve startup speeds and reduce memory usage.
+
+```yaml
+on: [push]

+jobs:
+  hello_world_job:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    name: Do nothing useful
+    steps:
+    - name: setup CUBE
+      id: cube
+      uses: FNNDSC/miniChRIS-docker@master
+      with:
+        services: chris oxidicom
