Chart Update Interval

Sets how often the chart graphics are updated and studies are recalculated when connected to the data feed. Enter the value in milliseconds. Using a higher value will reduce CPU usage, however, the chart will update slower. Using a lower value will increase CPU usage, however, the chart will update faster. This setting does not affect the speed at which data is stored, it is stored tick by tick without any gaps. All trades received are displayed. When a trade is received, it will be displayed within this time interval. All charting programs update charts in this way. Using a very short update interval (less than 800 milliseconds) will require a very fast CPU.
Have you compared the YM to the ES especially around market open? At certain times the instruments (especially the YM) can be very slow.
