Default Ways to help oil drain back to oil pan faster ?

What are some ways to help the oil drain back to the pan faster ?

I got link bar lifter to get rid of the lifter trays so oil should flow faster back to pan.

Any other thing that can be done ? Have been reading about some people pumping the oil pan dry cause the oil was taking to long to drain back down.
Where on the ls engines does it slow or trap the oil at ?

I haven't heard of it being a problem on LS motors. It was a problem for the old big blocks.
