SLOW MT4 BACKTESTING

[ted marsay]

My MT4 Build 432 is dead slow at optimising/backtesting. Do any of you have the same problem or a fix. Your help would be much appreciated - Ted

backtesting for me seems normal enough I guess, but optimizing is taking forever and a day to show something.  it used to take a minute or 2 for it to start showing stuff, now its like go watch a movie and come back and you will see it finished or its working but it never took this long before. 

wouldn't have really thought about the build but i remember seeing this post.

I've now done quite a bit of backtesting with build 432. I can see no difference in the speed.

But, like most updated versions of anything, it does consume more resources. So if you are running on a VPS or have insufficient free RAM on your PC, this will slow you down.
