Re: [amibroker] Hardware - processor speeds

["Tomasz Janeczko" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

It mainly depends on:
a) data source you use (if you use external data source - it is main limiting factor because it usually takes more
time to get data from external source than to perform all remaining tasks in AmiBroker itself)
b) the number of symbols you optimize on
c) the size of cache and whenever all symbols data under test fit into RAM or not

By varying the above three you can get changes in speed by orders of magnitude without changing the hardware.

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
