Thanks to Andrew Kinney for this tip:
I regularly use small time frame bars. To view larger time frames, I zoom out and scroll.
It was annoying me that scrolling was so slow. When pressing and holding the scroll button at the bottom of the window, the screen would tick by at around one increment per second.
While watching the task manager CPU usage history while scrolling, I noticed that a larger percentage of the CPU utilization was kernel activity. That got me thinking that something related to Windows itself was causing it to scroll more slowly than I wanted.
Long story short, I went to the visual performance settings and unchecked “smooth edges of screen fonts.” The speedup was instant and significant for scrolling in NeuroShell. My estimation is around a 300% speedup.
The drawback is that screen fonts look yucky in some applications.
Instructions:
Open System in Control Panel.
On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings.
On the Visual Effects tab, click Custom.
Clear the check box for “smooth edges of screen fonts”.
