Post From: backtesting slowing down

Is there a reason why things might get slower as I do more and more backtesting? I have 10 symbols that I'm using the same code and indicators on, and I progressively BT one symbol at a time as I change a parameter. The first couple of symbols are completed in less than 30 seconds, but by #5 or #6, it will take 5 minutes or so per symbol. By #10, maybe 6 or 7 minutes. Sometimes, if I close things out and restart SC, it speeds everything back up, like it clears things out. Is that my imagination or could there be an actual reason behind why that would work? Is there something else I can do to speed things back up, instead of closing everything out and restarting constantly? I have a fast processor and 16gb of ram, in case that helps pinpoint (or eliminate) something. |
