During busy market conditions my chart goes into what I call Burst Mode. That is where the chart will update periodically every few bars (6-10). While waiting for the chart update I can't touch any other NT function. Just trying to select, or close a chart, etc. is impossible. I can't even close ControlCenter. Using TaskMonitor to end the process is the only option
However I can open a browser, or other applications and work "pretty well" with them, a bit sluggish but operating while the NT chart is still waiting to update its chart.
So, this indicates to me that I have a bottle neck somewhere other than CPU.
I know performance issues are very difficult to characterize, but in your experience would I most likely get improvements by looking at Disk performance, RAM performance or other?
This is with a Quad core, 3 Ghz, 4Gb XP system where TaskMonitor shows 25% CPU overall, and no individual core is running more than say, 40-70%. 1.5GB RAM available and PageFile using about 2Gb, of 7Gb available.
