NT7 sluggish, hardware upgrade to improve performance?

Thanks guys, appreciate your feedback. It's disappointing to think that improving my computing power 100% won't result in any significant increase in performance. I've never come across an application that didn't benefit from more horsepower - Ninjatrader is indeed "odd" in this respect. I'll have to look at other performance tweaks. No point upgrading hardware since performance issues are most likely due to sloppily and ignorantly coded indicators that are extravagantly squandering …

No.

HyperThreading basically emulates more cores. It's for when software is bad at multi-threading and the hardware is better. It's an old tech and generally high-end servers with optimized software are better left with HT disabled.

It isn't required. You can determine if your system is faster or slower with it on/off by doing a benchmark. The results will be nearly identical, probably not worth the time to run a benchmark and then live with the change.
