user8406: I would like to reduce the number of lines calculated by the engine to speed up the analysis but I cannot find the appropriate option for that. Does anybody know how to do this in Scid vs PC?

user2792: In Scid vs PC, after you turn on an engine, a window with analysis opens. In that window you can see icons like Stop Engine, Add Move, Add Variation etc. (see picture below).
Among them, there is a small box with a number (marked by a red circle in the picture below), namely the number of lines suggested by the engine. Adjust that according to your preference. If I understood your question correctly, that should solve your problem. Just for the sake of completeness, I have the version  4.13 of Scid vs PC.
