Just wondering if there is a way or easy fix to decrease the processing time for some back tests. I’ve been backtesting a C# strategy on 1min, 5min, and 10min data for BTC, ETH, and SOL over 5-7 years worth of data. So, we’re talking about a giant amount of data.
I try to run a few at once since it takes hours to complete. But, when I look at Task Manager, none of the categories are even above 50% (CPU % being the highest at 44%). How can I make WL use more of the CPU resources to get these backtests done faster?

I meant to say optimizing, not backtesting. So, optimizing is taking a long time for me.
Well you need to post a Process Explorer snapshot of your WL performance during optimization so we can see where the bottlenecks are. Do you really expect us to guess where the shortcomings of your hardware are?
Also, let us know what the hardware configuration of you system is. You might start with how much on-chip L3 processor cache you have. That would be most critical in an optimization. And how much page faulting is going on during optimization?

Since my topic was quoted, I will say that I simply gave up on this issue. I recently upgraded my server and I'm still not using all of its power. For me this is only noticeable in Evolver, but I tried running two Evolvers in parallel and it didn't speed things up, which leads me to conclude that either the program is hitting the L3 cache (although there is 16MB) or something else that isn't visible in Process Explorer, or it's due to single-threading.
Overall, the performance is sufficient for me.
