Post From: Number bar chart lagging occasionally

Hi
am noticing on occasions, the number bars are not printing in real-time and lag the clock by few seconds (and even other trading platforms like DasTrader). What I mean is this,
- say the current time is 10:01:03, meaning the first minute is complete(past 10am) and we're 3 seconds into the second minute
- the number bar chart is still finishing up the 1st minute bar, while the clock is into 2nd minute and Dastrader already started printing the 2nd minute bar.
- few seconds(usually 2-3 seconds) later, the Number bar charts starts printing the 2nd minute bar.I just lost visibility into the tape for these few seconds.

As a scalper, reading the tape for my entries, these few seconds matter to me.

Noticing the issue during higher trading activity/volume after market open(the latest was between 09:50am-10:10am NYT).
The CPU/memory/GPU usage is pretty light on the system( usually 30-40% peaks).
The hard drive for the whole system is on internal SSD.
The concerned ticker is $NVDA_MBO.

Have attached a copy of the Chart Settings->Performance from the concerned Footprint chart.
Global Settings->Data/Trade Service Settings->Intraday Data Storage Time Unit=1 Tick
Number bars Study: Require 1 Tick Intraday Data Storage Time Unit=Yes
Symbol Settings: Tick Size=0.01
Display: Chart Update Interval:Chart Update Interval in Milliseconds=50
Graphics Settings Global: Use OpenGL for Chart Graphics, Checked.
SC version 2899

pls advise,
Thanks
