The actual saving of data written to disk is handled by the operating system.

One difference in the newer versions is when an Intraday data file is opened by a chart, it remains open. This is helpful when people are using Sierra Chart on Linux and also if users have antivirus software running.

This could also possibly lead to increased memory use because the operating system is probably caching the data read from the files and not releasing that until the file is closed. It is not Sierra Chart using that large amount of additional memory itself. Newer versions will use some amount of additional memory, but it is more like a megabyte per chart.
