VbP Chart Causing Very High Power Useage, Low CPU useage

I have a VbP chart that I would like to keep. It computes multiple time frames.

Is there a way to stop it from manually recalculating the studies. I don't mind updating it every half hour or so myself.

When I remove the chart from the chartbook my Power usage for SC goes back to very low, I know it is this one chart that is causing issues.

My CPU use is fine and usually around 5% no matter how many charts I have open.

The power usage is high whenever I add the VbP.

I was thinking that if I could stop it from calculating the studies and just calculate them intermittently, this would solve my problem.

Does anyone have any advice?

Again, I would like to keep the study and be able to see it while trading.

Thank You
Heidi

This had gotten overlooked. Some of the Volume by Price studies are configured very inefficiently. For example, this Input setting:
Volume By Price Study: Time Period Length for 'Fixed Time'

Needs to be increased. In one case it is set to 1 minute. That is way too low based upon the amount of data loaded in the chart.
