I checked the CPU utliziation on the VM during playback and it's only at around 8% avg, whereas my local machine is constantly at around 95% when I run the playback connection. As a separate test, I tried NT's optimizer using the standard MA cross over strategy - that test does utilize much more of the VM's CPU resources i.e. all cores at around 70% and does finish significantly faster than an identical optimization on my local machine.
Note for the playback test on the VM, i wasn't running any strategy. Simply pulled up a single instrument on a single chart and hit playback (same test as on my local machine).
Is there a reason why a machine with much more CPU cores and RAM runs substantially slower in Playback mode?
Thanks
