Back testing can only be done within a single thread and it is a lot of processing when working especially with tick by tick data. Two ways this can be improved upon and that is to use a larger Intraday Data Storage Time Unit:
Data/Trade Service Settings: Intraday Data Storage Time Unit (Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Common Settings >> Common Settings)

Or try the "Calculate Same as Real Time" Replay Mode :
