Why does the CPU usage cause you a problem? This is not going to affect Sierra Chart and happens on another core with the way that Sierra Chart interacts with files. All file access in Sierra Chart is done on a background thread or out of memory caches. And we have never noticed a problem with this ourselves. If you have a noticeable CPU usage issue related to NTFS compression, then you need to look elsewhere rather than disabling it. there could be some driver hooking into the file system causing a problem and you should also be using Sierra Chart on a dedicated solid-state drive. Compression is just not an issue these days. We are not going to put this option in. It simply is out of the question because compression is so essential with the large amounts of market data which has to be stored. We are not going to put up with support issues, related to excessively large files. We process data rates far exceeding 200 Mb a second, and hundreds of thousands of files, and we have no issue with compression on a server. Also that information you are quoting in our opinion looks very dated and irrelevant these days with current hardware. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
