i typically open 5 worksheets with a total of 29 charts, 6 x TS and 3 x L2, with hardly any indicators.
When I flick between workspaces it is very very sluggish and wanted to get some advice on how to improve this i.e. better hardware or reduce the number of workspaces.
CPU is a 2.6G AMD with 4Gb ram, CPU between 30% and 70%. RAM is about 50% so it does not appear to be hardware although I am using onboard GPU.
Would a dedicated graphics card improve the screen redraws? would a move to pci express actually make a difference compared to onboard GPU or is this just down to NT?
I have looked at the "improving performance" link posted previously but my CPU does not appear to be struggling so not sure if the improvements recommended would make a difference.
Interestingly using a 6month old laptop with same no. of charts etc. i get much better refreshes between workspaces which tells me hardware is a factor, my pc is about 2.5yrs old.
using NT7 64bit latest version
