There definitively is not lower performance with newer versions. The very opposite, higher performance in some cases. Refer to:
High CPU Usage | Inactive User Interface | Poor Performance | Long Time to Load Chart Data | Charts Reloading Often: 30.44 - Performance Differences Between Versions of Sierra Chart


Although using Sierra Chart timers and operating system timers does make an apparent difference with performance:

This is because you are in Thailand, and using a full tick by tick feed:
but I still see up to a 4 sec delay in the T & S time stamps when I compare it to IB TWS

Interactive Brokers data is snapshot.

We do not accept this:
, today I went back to 2644 again just to see and there very little lag ,
There could not be a difference, with data feed lag between versions. This is just simply not possible. There is some other explanation in your case. If the entire Sierra Chart program is being affected and there is more processing occurring, then this would be an explanation.

You get delays in moving around menus and as I have all my charts on sync scroll linked , when u roll the mousewheel , its very laggy and sticky , it works perfect on ver 2644 with the same Chartbook
Do not use Sierra Chart timers. Use operating system timers.
