Post From: Sierra Chart slow to release memory when closing chart or changing chart settings

When I open a chart with bar period 0-0-1 (and underlying storage unit = 1 Tick) and load a depth-based study such as "Bid & Ask Depth Bars" and subsequently do any of the following: - Close the chart - Close Sierra Chart - Change the symbol - Change the time frame Basically make any changes to the chart, it takes a LONG time to "unload" the memory. Looking at the used memory in Windows, I see it decreasing but very slowly. The unload takes approximately 1 minute for 5 days of data. Loading the data takes only 1-3 seconds. it is not a RAM issue, as I have 128GB and SC is using no more than 20-40GB. No errors are logged (log verbosity set to max) and everything works fine except for this very slow unload. Any suggestions as to what might be causing this? Steps to reproduce: Open a chart with ES-CME and the following settings: - Intraday storage time unit: 1 Tick - Bar Period Value: 0-0-1 - Include Columns With No Data: Yes - Data Limiting: Use date range and set range to 5+ days - Add the "Bid & Ask Depth Bars" study to the chart Now close the chart or open another symbol in the chart, or close SC. |
