Post From: slow backtesting

Hello, I'm having issues with very slow backtesting - namely, when using the Autotrade System Replay BackTest, it runs verrrry slow. 1 year of 10-min bars is taking 10-12 minutes to run for one chart. It seems to start off fast enough (processing 1 month in the first minute), but then it slows down as it goes (processing 1 week in 1 minute by the end). My code isn't complicated, and I have a new i7 with 16gb of ram so the machine should be able to handle it. My CPU never hits more than 10% usage when running a backtest. Is this normal, or is it possible there is a setting I need to check? Thank you.
