Post From: Global Crosshair Cursor and OS Timer -ON- Recommendation

I just updated to version 2800, from 2695. Been going over some performance recommendations and testing out the timer features.

When the OS timer is OFF, I experience a .5-1second freeze in global crosshair cursor about every 5 seconds with rapid cursor movement. And this goes away when I turn the OS timer feature on, it becomes smooth as butter for as long as need be.

High CPU Usage | Inactive User Interface | Poor Performance | Long Time to Load Chart Data | Charts Reloading Often: 30.56 - Global Chart Values Tool / Global Cursor

I remember reading this section, that the global crosshair cursor is controlled by the OS.

If this is the case it good be a good addition to this section to turn ON OS timer. And that could be a main troubleshooting angle to help identify any problems that people may have with updating, to isolate the things that require the OS. You never know how long it could take to rebuild a chartbook or could be just as simple as turning a setting on.

Cheers
