CPU performance question

CPU requirements for Sierra Chart?

Under the Studies column, I added 'clock-real time' in my charts

The clock runs slow. In fact, during the trading day, the seconds skip. Rather than going from 2 to 3, to 4, to 5, etc. etc. it goes from 2, to 5, to 8, to 11, to 15 (you get the picture) All my charts lag during the trading day.

On weekends when I review my charts, the clock runs perfectly smooth, without any seconds being skipped. Obviously there's no data running on Saturday or Sunday, thus bogging down the CPU.

Question. How fast of a CPU do I need (or do you suggest) in order for my Sierra Charts to run smoothing during trading hours.

FWIW, I am using Sierra's Denali data feed.

Thanks and I look forward to your reply.
