Hey,

Loading/reloading charts with depth studies takes very long time. Esspecialy when chart is set to few days of data.

Is there any compression for depth files available and I should set it up somewhere? And would that increase chart loading time anyway?

My depth files are really big so no wonder it takes some time (0.5GB/day), but maybe theres something im not aware of as compression on the fly of those files?

Attached are sizes of my recent ES files.

These files are compressed already. Compression is automatically enabled for those files.

Also update Sierra Chart to the current version.:

The size you see in that screenshot, is the uncompressed size. If you look at the file Properties you can see the compressed size.
