Hi, Thanks for taking the time to reply again. Re the GDI issue: - Certainly the leak seemed resolved in latest version, since which I had not once noticed the graphics issues described. - The object count is still >500, typically I see 600-800 depending on how many chartbooks are open (or 1000-1400 if 'destroy chart windows when hidden' is not enabled) Re the general performance: I understand that you can only offer limited help, what with there being so many possible variables (the vast majority being completely beyond your control), I also take on board your advice re hardware upgrade and/or more instances of Sierra Chart, however: - Typical average CPU load for SC is in the 3-7% range - this does not seem too high - Detached charts are listed as a possible problem in another support board thread - I do have quite a few detached charts, but this has been the case for >18 months - I still believe that the issues that I see are a recent phenomenon, despite my efforts to make my chartbooks more efficient - I have reverted back to an earlier version, as I would like to test for myself before reorganising my chart setups or upgrading my hardware If upgrading my system turns out to be the right option for me, could you offer some basic advice please? - Do I need to move away from Win 7? - What will be most beneficial for SC performance: more processor cores, higher single core performance, higher multi-core performance, more memory, all of the above? Sorry if I am wasting your time or if my questions are beyond the scope of support. |
