eSignal - Display Optimization Overview
With the release of version 10.1, we've added an important user preference setting to help reduce the cpu load. While not visible to the naked eye, real-time data causes your screen to repaint hundreds, perhaps even thousands of times each minute.
In order to reduce the burden of these re-draws, we added an optimization preference under File/Preferences/Display tab. This setting impacts quote, summary and detail windows only so no impact on charts or other window types. If you do experience cpu spikes, it's worth playing with this setting to see if it makes a difference. Here's an explanation of each level:
Regardless of the setting you choose, the data is still coming into your system. This just controls how often the screen repaints in those three window types. When you adjust it, you'll notice it'll look more like a pulse, especially the higher the optimization setting you choose. Further optimization is planned for 10.2 as data rates continue to climb and we realize the desktop needs to be smarter and lighter.
