Anyone elses TWS platform hogging CPU ?

[Scataphagos]

It amazes me how TWS can be fine and stable for a while then every so often it'll just get borked

Updates... not adequately tested before being released. Regular occurrence.

I have no idea why, but lower memory allocation does actually increase CPU usage by TWS on my PC.

More Java operations due to constrained memory. Operations take CPU cycles.

lol, minimal issues

plenty of open charts

you just aint hip


running latest standalone if thats any help

It usually seems to be worst in morning. Like it can't handle the flow of data from all the tickers and charts moving with the volatility at the open

I allocate about 24 GB to TWS although it takes a while to start up (about a minute), after that it runs fine. By default, I think the memory allocation was something odd like 768 MB although that might have just been the initial max heap size...I forget.

That's max heap size. I haven't touched memory allocation at all, it runs perfectly fine. The issues described appear to be something else, most likely connection related, I notice when there's connection issues then TWS appears to freeze.

Not sure whats going on...my platform is chugging hogging CPU cycles

First thing I would do is to try to identify processes with high cpu usage. Then, implement security tools that list and store all processes. To get motivated please read IB privacy policy especially sentences about monitoring of systems.

Yea the IB guys said to exactly trouble the ram allotment. Not just input a random number for me. So maybe try that first.
