Post From: Win 10 performance noticably slower than win 7

I just performed a test. On the same machine I have both win 7 and 10. 4 core i5, 4.4 ghz. Both x64, both being fresh installs. I removed all the indicators off all the charts. Again this is 25 chartbooks x (8 charts + 2 detached windows) for each chartbook. Then just added a simple indicator on one chart, so i can debug it in Visual Studios. In win 7, it reports 0-1% cpu usage on the sierrachart process. Perfect. Visual Studio shows it takes about 10-20ms to make a round trip through all the charts. In win 10, it reports about 3-4% cpu usage. In Visual Studio shows it takes about 50-70ms to make a round trip. so that's about 2.5-3x slower performance, which was about what I was seeing with another win10 machine a few months back (based on cpu usage). The problem compounds for me when i add in all my indicators. Win 7 usually takes under 250ms for a round trip (~10% cpu usage). Win 10 pushes towards 600ms+ a round trip (near/maxing out at 25% on a single core), at which point causes more noticeable lag and longer than the fxcm 1/2 second data tick rate. I have a new win 10 laptop coming in that i'll confirm with, but unless you guys have any suggestions or can confirm with tests on your end, it does appear that sierrachart runs slower on win 10. Running multiple instances to spread the load isn't an option. I know my particular use case is probably unusual, and most users won't have an issue since SC still runs pretty fast. But something to be aware of. Anyone pushing the limits of SC on win 10 may want to consider testing on a Win 7 machine. |
