We recommend using more instances of Sierra Chart. Refer to:

To whatever extent this relates to the GDI object count, you can probably tell just by looking at that count. It should not really be more than 500. If it is, we will have a new release out which may help with this, in a day or two.

Ultimately these issues are going to be system-level issues and operating system level issues. Especially something like this:
3) there will be some graphic glitches (e.g. charts flickering, charts not displaying a quickly as normal when switching chartbooks)

We do acknowledge the GDI object leak, which has been definitively resolved, but all other performance related issues, ultimately are due to limited hardware, the configuration of Sierra Chart including your charts, and inefficiencies at the operating system level. There is only so much we can do to help with those. You simply have to get more capable hardware and use more instances of Sierra Chart if you are pushing the limits of what a single process of Sierra Chart can handle based upon what you are doing, and what the operating system can handle.
