Post From: Help with improving chart response times

A long time ago I had issues with a SC install where I had certain symbols that accumulated lots of data and would thus slow things down. When I deleted a lot of old data, things improved. I am having a similar slow response issue on a different config running from an average laptop with three monitors. Here the problem is not data files it is likely too many indicators. I have a dozen or more charts running in this Chartbook. The issue I believe is that in each of those charts there are 1-2 dozen indicators, many which are not used (in the sense that I use the "do not draw" or "ignore" convention to eliminate lines. I do this also in order to base one line on another, which may not be shown. Bottom line: to tackle the slow response, what would be hierarchical priority to clean up: un-needed indicators, too many indicators that are in the chart? When an indicator is in the chartfile, but not outputting a line, is there still cpu overhead?
