Post From: Backtesting performance

Good morning, I want to backtest strategies with the accurate backtesting method. I have intraday chart and data is 1 tick: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/Backtesting.php#ImprovingPerformanceOverall

However it is so slow that after 2 hours of backtesting at 30720 speed, it has only looked at ~30days worth of data. Is this performance to be expected from this kind of backtesting or could there be something wrong? My PC specs are acceptable I believe (8gb ram, i5 processor).
