Post From: Versions past 1981 have slow chart update

Hello, I have uploaded a video comparing side by side a version of Sierra Chart running pre 1982 vs post 1982. I have compared this in both Denali and CQG instances and the visual difference in chart updates is clearly slower in versions post 1982. The video is only comparing CQG and Denali, but I can confirm I have tested this solely in Denali versions and have isolated the same problem with Denali, so it is not limited to a specific data feed. This video comparison was made between the two data feeds just for login limitation purposes.

I have tested all versions up to 1982 and past 1982 and 1981 is the last version which updates with the same speed as before. This speed is essential because as you can see sometimes the market is trading offer side and versions in post 1982 show the market trading bid side for half a second or more. This difference in speed is especially noticeable when the market is moving quickly.

The difference is not noticeable on trading DOMs. This issue seems limited to charts. I have run the same comparison on blank charts with no studies and there is still a noticeable difference, so this is not related to the studies I am running on the chart. I have also limited the depth levels and calculations to 10 a side on the Denali feed and this made no difference either.

I am using only one chart in the instance with a chart update interval of 100, number of days to load is 2, and my machine is more than capable. It is imperative that this issue be isolated and fixed as this difference in speed is very detrimental to short term trading.

No settings were changed between comparisons between 1981 and 1982 when using Denali and there is still a noticeable speed difference. Please look into this and advise how to remedy this solution. Thanks!

Edit: I forgot to label the video - The chart on the left is pre-1982 and the chart on the right is post-1982.
