OK, here's my alpha test configuration. Twenty-three one day charts, each with a simple 12 line study running. That page representrs how I would like to be able to quickly spot-check my position trades, investments, indices and rates. So far, so good, no crash. But I'm still hoping. I'll gradually add stressors until it crashes like my full-up trading screen does.

Here's a REALLY bizarre one. The output value of a study doesn't show up on the price scale unless you scroll left in time to take the current bar off the chart. I guess I don't need to see both the current price and the current study value at the same time.
It's a good think I'm such a hotshot with efs and always do things right the first time, because there's no syntax check in 11.
And what happened to all the font choices that were in the 10.6 script editor? About half of the choices in 11 are furrin fonts, mostly Asian (ah, so! ESiggle very fine ploglam!) and ALL of them are unreadable. For example, in 10.6 I use bold arial. Not to be found in 11.
Edit: I take that back. I kinda like the font GungSuhChe. I think that translates to "Doesn't fucking work."
No, I am going with MiriamFixed. Sounds kinda kinky. Bold face. Even kinklier.
But FangSong is a close second.
Heaven forfend that we should use Microsoft Office fonts. I think I am getting a hint here of the ethnicity of the programmers. Outsourced, perhaps? Fat lazy Amellican trader not need so many function! Too many function make simple head hurt!

Well I managed to crash it with some modestly complex code which works fine in 11. Upon reloading, I found that the shit-simple code that was open each one of the 23 one-day charts gave an error message. And wouldn't relaod without error. But if I removed them and added them back, they worked!

Here's the page I am using to stress test it. Not all of my functionality, but enough running at one-second to be a decent test.
I can see what you mean about being cramped for space. Try hiding the title bar on each chart object (top right corner, second from left button -- same as in 10.6)
Also, have you considered grabbing a second monitor?

Yes, thanks, hadn't thought to do that. I usually leave the title bar on in 10.6 because it is useful in that it tells what the symbol is, which 11 doesn't. 'Nuff said there!
Actually I have a second monitor, a 23". But I use it only to blow things up so my old eyes can see them. Also I have an extreme aversion to moving my head. I like to recline and rest my head on a pillow on the bookcase behind me. Helps with the hangovers. Gonna get me a recliner one a these days when I can justify buying a big-assed monitor to go with it.
BTW, that's not my real screen, just an example I made up that would show all my positions simultenupusly. And I added my stressing one-second chart So far it's been running over an hour with no problem.
Well, finally I got drunk enough to figure out at least one reason why the backtesting results are wrong. They're not multiplying the profit in points by the point value in dollars. Maybe the coders don't understand futures. I know I don't.

P.S. This thread is starting to look like your personal journal. I hope you don't mind my occasional off-topic interventions.
