The most likely scenario is there are a lot of accumulated Trade Activity queries. Perhaps a chart maintaining a Trades List is continuously reloading causing an accumulation of queries.

Restart Sierra Chart and do not open any charts, and use the Trade Activity Log independently and see if the problem still exists.

For charts, check this setting and make sure it's not too far back in time:
Chart Settings: Order Fills Start Date-Time (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)

The only explanation is that SC does something extremely stupid and inefficient while attempting to read these files.
No this is a false conclusion on your part.
