Post From: Is it possible to make Study/Price Overlay less CPU intensive?

I use Study/Price Overlay quite a bit and what I've noticed over the years is that this is likely the most CPU intensive element in Sierrachart. This seems to be a random increase at times when the software is updated and other times it has to be singled out by deleting charts/elements one by one. This CPU spike is especially noticeable if you overlay a study from a slightly faster chart onto a slower one. This will often pin a core to 100% usage and interaction with the cursor has a 1-3 second delay. It also happens sometimes between different chart types that imply different speeds (2-1 point and figure over a 6 tick range, etc). My question is whether it's possible at some point to make this less intensive on CPU usage or introduce some way to easily single out which chart/overlay is causing the problem?
