We are definitely confirming the issue is what is explained here:
High CPU Usage | Inactive User Interface | Poor Performance | Long Time to Load Chart Data | Charts Reloading Often: 30.23 - Chart Tick Size and Volume at Price Processing

We recommend using a Tick Size of 10. And we have preset the symbol settings for this now. Although for more accuracy, use 1.

Follow the instructions here to update the Symbol Settings:
Global Symbol Settings: Update Global Symbol Settings

After the above step, apply them to the chart following these instructions:
Global Symbol Settings: Update/Apply Symbol Settings to Charts


And then you can manually change the Tick Size to 1 for more accuracy.
