Post From: CPU usage & GDI count V1798

Hi support,

For me, V1798 seems to be causing higher CPU usage and possibly there is a GDI leak.

After the software has been running for a few hours I notice a couple of things will occasionally happen -
1) there are times when the charts lag behind the data I see on my standalone DOM's, sometimes a 1-2 seconds, sometime 20-30 seconds
2) the application will randomly hang for anything from 5-30 seconds,
3) there will be some graphic glitches (e.g. charts flickering, charts not displaying a quickly as normal when switching chartbooks)

I've not experienced either 2 or 3 before (as far as I can remember anyway...), I have noticed item 1 but this was generally only in very fast moving markets.


I've been through help topic 30, but my chartbooks are largely unchanged for quite some time, so I didn't see the benefit in making too many changes until I understand the issue.

Regarding the possible GDI leak -
V1781 was the last version that had a stable GDI count (typically 1200 +/- 50).
V1798 starts out with a similar count, but this increases all the time the software is running, yesterday it started at around 1150 and at the last time I checked it, it was near 5000.

I don't know if this is normal or to be expected, but I thought I should make you aware.

It may be that there is something wrong at my end (e.g. bogus windows update), but I don't believe this to be the case.

Thanks for your help.
