Yes, but the more CPU cores the better.

On a quad core i7 3.8ghz, more than 4 chartbooks per instance, or more than 3 instances seem to start making the instances laggy and slow, even with low CPU utilization below 12% per instance. The only way to tell seems to be visually comparing speed of chart updates with less instances/charts open, or speed of menu opening, or chart scrolling. Would be extremely useful to have a better way to objectively measure performance overhead/lag in SC.

The purpose to improve SC's usability/performance optimization, as the suggested method of CPU utilization per thread is not effective, as explained. If we could measure performance overhead/lag in an objective way, it would be a useful improvement to optimize for performance and eliminate lag.
