Tip: smaller points in viewport

The small dots display shows points as 3x3 squares, while the large dots does 5x5 (I think. Video cards might have something to do with this). But if you want itty bitty points, you can just change to Display Normals and scale them way down. Settings from .02 to .1 seem to be useful.

The unfortunate part about displaying normals or velocities is that anything that starts and ends in the same pixel will disappear, instead of drawing to a single pixel.
