Post From: 2 part question on speed and CPU resource usage

Try to set chart update interval higher, e.g. to 250 ms or so. This way the CPU load gets reduced BUT your charts only get 4 updates per second. If you need to have faster updates which most daytraders do I would suggest to try out OpenGL to utilize the GPU instead of CPU just for basic chart rendering. I struggled long time until I switched to OpenGL. I bought a nice and expensive workstation with an high performance CPU but still Sierra was not running smooth. Especially when you use a Market Depth Historical chart with an update interval less than 100ms and try to manage orders from this chart. Problem is 90% of Sierras load is only done on one Core so this core will always be maxed out. Take a look in your ressource manager to see the single cores usage. Open GL with a nice GPU - all good now. |
