I have noticed that Sierra uses a lot of CPU time on my Linux/Wine setup. My brand new PC has 32GB and an 8-core AMD 8350 with 2 DVI-monitors at 2560x1440 resolution each. ; "top" output looks like this:

PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
1976 jan 20 0 2043320 1.699g 21924 R 71.7 5.4 103:27.32 SierraChart.exe
1948 jan 20 0 20000 8712 768 R 47.2 0.0 70:07.09 wineserver
and the fans start blowing off steam as soon as I start Sierra/Wine.

I should add that currently I am keeping about 35 chart books open, with some 10 charts each, where each chart book tracks a different symbol using IB.

Is this normal? If not: any suggestions on how to get the cpu load under control?
