Post From: Volume By Price causes Replay to be so slow it is unusable

Well in general, maybe as there is more memory being used by the chart, the speed of accessing the chart data becomes slower.
If this was the case why is the 1st test so fast? It accesses 15 months worth of data in a 1 Minute Chart in 8 minutes.

Regarding this: "2nd Test", is there just one By Profile in the entire chart?
No. There is one profile per day. And according to SC Study instructions this is the way it should work: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/StudiesReference.php&ID=141&Name=Volume_by_Price#Settings

Besides, I also tested other Volume Graph Period Types which only use 1 Profile per day:
I also tried Volume Graph Period Types: "From Session Start Time To End", "One Period from Start Time To End Time" and "From Start Time to End" with the same slow effect.

If you could just test it you would find out that the replay gets slow over time as if either the study is not releasing memory (which I doubt it) or it is accessing some older dates (older than the current day) to calculate, which shouldn't even be necessary. But like I said, it makes no sense to me that if I stop the replay when it gets slow and just restart it at the same date where I stopped it, the speed is fast again. And even it gets much faster if I modify in Chart Settings, "Use Date Range" the "From" field to the same date I will start testing.

Please, I really need your help. It has been very time consuming to test this way.
Thanks
