Understood. In an instance of Sierra Chart that I have, I have 7 charts and the quote board. The global chart update interval is set to 500 for charts and the quote board, and all charts are set to 0 update interval (so they are using the global 500ms setting).

In 2674, CPU usage is around 7%.

In 2676, CPU usage is around 13-15%. I can clearly see that the quote board is updating more quickly which would explain the higher CPU usage. The UI is responsive enough, but it would be nice for Sierra Chart to not be using more resources if not necessary. I don't need the quote board updating more quickly in this instance. So, maybe the solution is to increase the maximum possible chart update interval so that I can increase that interval to achieve slower updating of the quote board/charts to more closely match how quickly the previous version was updating the quote board/charts.


I have another instance with more charts that are used for trading and I need much faster update intervals in that instance. I will have to see if I am able to upgrade to >2674 and increase the update intervals to reduce CPU usage, maintain responsive UI, and receive chart updates at least as quickly as I have in =<2674.

I appreciate this technical performance improvement by the way. Hopefully I can adjust the chart update interval in my other instance without reducing the speed at which I was receiving chart updates/data in =<2674.
