Using chart drawings (text, arrows, lines etc) to mark up charts but ONLY Use Number of Days to Load is set to 10 days.
If I have 12 months of drawings that have 'scrolled past' creating possibly hundreds of drawings on the chart in the Manage Drawings window will that impact performance in anyway or is it just based on Number of Days (or date range) loaded in the chart?

Yes too many chart drawings will have a performance impact because even if they are not drawn, they are checked if they need to be drawn every time the chart is updated. Too many drawings, would be like many 100s of drawings. Even more than 100 could be a problem.
