Hi,
When I start SC I regularly get a spike to 100% CPU Usage. I'm running an i7and 6GB of ram and 8GB of dedicated GPU.
I must be doing something wrong with this much RAM and still spiking to 100% for about 30 seconds on startup.
I have streamlined as much as I can from looking at the CPU usage streamlining thread on the help section here. But I still dont see a performance enhancement.
Here is a log.

Most likely that relates to the loading of Intraday chart data.

We recommend getting more CPU cores and also using a dedicated solid-state drive:
High CPU Usage | Inactive User Interface | Poor Performance | Long Time to Load Chart Data | Charts Reloading Often: 30.29 - Solid State Drives / SSD
