Hi,

Am I correct in assuming the two biggest factors to impact CPU usage would be Display -> Chart Update Interval in MS and Performance -> Minimum Chart Update for ACSIL?

I've noticed a CPU spike since recent changes/fixes.

If I only care about 2-3 charts updating quickly can I drastically lower CPU usage by putting chart update interval like 10000 for say 30m charts I look at occasionally and other non trading charts?

Do workspaces in the background not visible use less CPU ie when I select another workspace? Buying a new PC in next few months but need to make some major improvements in my workspaces right now. My problem is yes 2nd instance and 3rd etc are great but many 3rd party studies I rely on don't work, don't work well and often cause crashes in 2nd, 3rd instances. I also can hit Add Custom Study ONE TIME but second time 100% of the time that instance CRASHES. Drives me nuts wish I knew which 3rd party study is causing it!
