Sierra repeatedly slows down.

Since the last few Sierra updates I have noticed that after Sierra has been open for a bit it consistently slows down to a crawl such
that any attempt at scrolling through my charts is a click by click process. Data still comes through well and is correct.
When I check via task manager my resource pull shows that Sierra is designated as running very high and my CPU usage is between
12 and 15%. All other running processes are LOW. No other applications are open other than Sierra. When I shut Sierra down and re-open it this temporarily solves this issue and my resource pull goes to very low to moderate with CPU at 2 to 3%. Then the resource pull climbs again. Regrettably I am force to re-boot Sierra two to three times in a morning trading session. I have a new and very powerful gaming-strong computer, so no issues with processor speed
or ram at all.

This could not be a problem with newer versions. There is some particular cause in your case.

Refer to help topic 30:
High CPU Usage | Inactive User Interface | Poor Performance | Long Time to Load Chart Data | Charts Reloading Often

One question we have though is do you notice the memory use of Sierra Chart continuously increasing substantially over time?
