Volume by Price Study – Lag with Use Transparent Draw Style + Multiple Profiles

When using the "Volume by Price" study configured for Multiple Profiles, enabling the "Use Transparent Draw Style" option causes significant lag / poor chart performance (slow scrolling, redrawing, zooming).

Disabling "Use Transparent Draw Style" restores normal performance. The issue scales with the number of profiles displayed.

Could the transparent draw style be optimized, or is this expected behavior with the current rendering approach?

We cannot do any better than this. But see if using OpenGL or disabling OpenGL helps:
Graphics Settings: Use OpenGL for Chart Graphics (Global Settings >> Graphics Settings - Other >> OpenGL)
