On my 24 chart setup SC reads the disk over 1500 times a second even when the market is closed.
This is not actually true. The data is read from an internal cache, when a symbol is actively trading. We will check to see when there is not active trading, whether their is a read from the OS. This may be the case and we may be able to optimize around that, but even in that particular case it is coming from an internal cache maintained by the operating system. There is no actual disc read occurring.

We will have a look to see if there is any further optimization we can do, but as it is now, this should not be a problem. When you are monitoring it, you are introducing more processing which otherwise would not even occur.

Make sure the flush time in Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >>Advanced >>Intraday File Flush Time is set to 0 so there is the default flushing which ensures the cache is going to be utilized.
