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

I completely agree.
Really thinking through this some more, we do really think it is an operating system and hardware level issue.
Really makes no logical technical sense for it to be a problem within Sierra Chart. Perhaps there is some issue with the message queue, perhaps there is something with the location of memory allocations and caching.

I even think the problem might be more in the line of what you said next:
Another thought is that as the chart is replaying Sierra Chart continuously is reading from the same file without reopening it and the operating system may be buffering data and having degraded file read performance. But this would be strictly a Windows issue.

However, wouldn't it be a good idea to look a little into this problem? Could a solution be to open only two files for the replay, close them, and then open the next two? In other words, open ESH20-CME and ESM20-CME, then close them and open the next two ESU20-CME and ESZ20-CME, and so on and so forth? I am just giving some ideas here. By no means do I pretend to be an expert in SC, but I have read some people have this problem too and if something like this could solve it then it wouldn't probably matter that much which operating system or hardware is everyone running (unless they are running a very old operating system in a very old hardware of course).
Just some food for thought.

Sierra Chart is the best platform I found in the market based on its performance, speed, reliability and programmability. It is actually my bread and butter. I would love for SC to continue growing and thriving as it has until now, or even more.
