I know from reading another thread, I need to install a second copy if I want to trade live and backtest at the same time. Here's my question:

When I'm doing a replay backtest, I believe Sierra uses allot of resources as it's very jumpy to do anything on Sierra while the replay backtest is running. I have an up-to-date 6core i7 machine with lots of ram and fast SSD storage, will the 2nd copy of Sierra used for live trading bog down because of the replay backtesting going on with copy 1? I just want to be sure I don't mess up any live trading because of simultaneous replay backtesting.

No, there should not be a problem. But you really have to evaluate this on your side. There is no way we can definitively answer this from our side.
