Preliminary remark: With this post I do NOT complain about the SC CPU usage!! I do NOT have a CPU utilization problem during normal operation. I do experience 100% CPU usage during opening of a chartbook with many charts and large amounts of data to be loaded. NOTE: I do NOT complain about this!! I DO know why this is the case and I DO know how I could reduce the load time, etc etc... There is NO NEED to lecture me on this! What I would like to do is limit the CPU usage during the chartbook opening to e.g. 90%. The limitation could be temporarily (e.g. applied only during the chartbook opening), or permanently (as during normal operation the CPU usage never reaches significant levels on my system). Questions: 1. Is there any way to DIRECTLY limit CPU utilization by using any SC application settings? (I suppose not, but I may have overlooked something.) 2. What is the recommended way (if any) to limit the SC CPU utilization by use of Operating System means/tools for a) Linux+wine b) Windows respectively? |

1. No. 2. We do not know the answer to this. We have set this as a User Discussion for others to respond. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

@User512353, Have you tried both in Linux and Windows? Do they all have high CPU usages during Sierra opening? |

@Toni I am currently only using Linux/wine. Windows may be a future option. |

yeah, same here, 2 computers, Linux Mint and Manjaro, but I only have one chart and 3 studies loaded, my CPU usage for Sierra is always below 10% during loading, not sure how many charts and studies you have. Linux Mint allows to set a ceiling for CPU clock speed, but not the CPU usage for each program. |
