is there a way to determine if I have "Chart Update Interval In Milliseconds" set too fast for the number and type of symbols used in my instance of SC?

and/or

is there an optimal setting for the number and type of symbols used in my instance of SC?

If you have any setting under 200, likely it is too fast. And we recommend avoiding that.

We recommend using 800.

why do you recommend avoiding that? i have used 40 for a while and seen no problems, CPU never goes over 03%.. is there anything to gain by using 800 even if i have more performance than i use on my computer?

If you do not have a problem with 40 ms, then it is fine. If we are being asked the question, we will give our advice.

Our answers are not always necessarily the best advice. We will give the safest and most reliable advice based upon the minimal information we have. Often users possess a lot more information than we are aware of relating to a particular question.


What users will often find, is that simply by using common sense and reading the documentation, they may be able to provide their own answer which is better than by asking us. Because the information we provide, is going to be simple and practical.

For example, the original question, there really is insufficient information for us to even give an accurate answer. In this particular case, it would be best if the user does their own testing and comes to their own conclusions rather than asking us.
