It's very straightforward.
Go to the "Advanced" tab of the "Run solver" menu.
There, turn on "Activate database mode".
Here, you can either use "Add X random flops", or use one of the weighted subsets.
I would recommend the subsets.
For this, enter the desired size of subset after "Import flops from file".
Available sizes are 15,19,23,33,37,44,55,66,80,89,111,129,141,163.

Thanks a lot.
Switching between flops will not involve any noticable loading time. The only decision to make here is whether to use "Basic" storage or "Extensive" storage. In "Basic" storage, turn data is not stored, but recalculated live when requested by the user. Within regular use recalculation will take a few seconds when navigating to a turn line. The advantage is that the savefiles will be much smaller. If you would prefer not to use recalculations, then use "Extensive" storage. Here, navigating to turn lines is instant, however, savefiles require several MB per tree.
