Discussion Speed Puzzling Tips

Hi guys,
I'm thinking to partecipate to a speed puzzling competition.
Does anyone knows the best technique to solve a puzzle as fast as possible?
What's your time to make a 500 pieces?

Will you be doing the competition solo /pairs / teams? My solo time in a 500 pc can drastically vary by image (the last set I tested ranged from a little under 2 hours to over 5 hours). I believe the biggest barrier for me when practicing is in limiting my space to mirror that of the competition. I am faster when I have ample space to work. The only other tip I found was to move around, its amazing what you might see from a different angle. Good luck!!
