I don't trade with a lot however the dom/tape seem to freeze up after a burst of volume in ES. The entire platform freezes up for 1-2 seconds. Any suggestions would be welcome to help keep things efficient. I've reduced loaded data and increased refresh rates on charts since I don't really use them for anything other than reference. My computer has 64GB Ram, Intel Ultra 9 185H processor. I have the following loaded:

*30-minute chart, 6 days loaded with TPO and value area of volume displayed on TPO, current price line, updating 250ms
*5-minute chart, 2 days loaded, no indicators updating 100ms
*Tape from the 5-minute chart, 1000 records (just time, price, volume, no grid, scroll or highlights)
*Dom, 1 day loaded with level 2, price column, recent bid/ask volume updating at 15ms

I wasn't sure if it would be best to have TPO in a different chartbook and only open when using. Currently the 5-minute chart is displayed and 30 minute with TPO is on a different tab.

Thank you for any suggestions.

I've looked through all the documentation, that's why I'm reaching out for help. I didn't have the issue until the recent upgrade.
