Crosshair Freezing & Lag

My charting has been lagging as of late. The crosshair in particular will freeze for a second and it seems to be more and more frequent over the past week. It use to run fluidly with no lag. I have tried a bunch of things like reducing days to load and removing old charts I no longer use.I am use 1 tick charts via the SC CME bundle data feed. I have reduced the tick data days to load down to 30. I have also reduced the number of stored records down to 3000 from 5000. I deleted all records in my activity log. I am basically trying all the steps listed on the website but not having any luck with this small lack. My system resources seem normal as well; 51% of 8GB of RAM is being used in total and CPU performance is steady. I updated to the new pre-release yesterday as well to try and rule that out. If you have any suggestions on the matter it would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Refer to help topic 30:

Although it sounds like you have already looked at this.

If you have a chart that has Number of Trades Per Bar set to 1 and it is loading 30 days of data, that possibly is going to be a problem. We recommend loading less than 5 days in this case.

Also disable any antivirus or anti-malware software you are running.

The other basic step to resolve a problem like this is to start off with one simple chart set to 1 minute per bar and then see if you have a problem and then gradually add to your set up until you do, to determine where the problem is.
