DOM is running a bit choppy

I've noticed my DOM does not seem to be running or updating price changes and quotes as smoothly as I expect. It seems to be almost choppy, like its not refreshing at a very high speed. I have my Chart Update Interval set to 40 (screenshot attached). Would you mind helping me troubleshoot? Are there any other settings I can change to increase the performance of my DOM? Thank you.

Can you please test it on Replay mode? Because my DOM is very laggy on live conditions but on replay it is super smooth and fast.
Feels like live DOM is not using the low chart update interval(around 10-25), instead it feels like >100.

Thank you for this. I changed the Remote Buffer Delay Send Time to 40 (was previously 0), Max Depth Levels to 500 (was previously 0 I believe, or infinite, basically I could see all levels), and I think the biggest difference maker was that I put my DOM by itself in the main instance (no other charts) and then put all my charts in a second instance. Previously I had everything in the same instance. The DOM is super fast now and moving as it should. Thanks again.
