Test 1: closed all my terminals, except one (with many charts and EA running): CPU is between 10 and 12%
Test 2: closed ALL terminals. CPU=0 or 1%
Test 3: reopen one terminal. CPU 10-12% (after stabilisation)
Test 4: Closed and opened another terminal from another broker (with other graphs and EAs): CPU 10-12% (after stabilisation)
Test 5: Closed. Install completely new MT4. Starting.
Test 6: new MT4, not connected, CPU=0-1%. (after stabilisation)
Test 7: new MT4, connected to broker #1, no charts, CPU=10-12% (after stabilisation)
Test 8: new MT4, connected to broker #2, no charts, CPU=10-12% (after stabilisation)
Test 9: MT4 closed, no MT4 running, CPU=10-12% (after stabilisation)
New build 600 is using considerably more CPU.
How to solve this ?
Most of people use only a fraction of their resources, so they didn't notice anything. However there are a few threads with people saying they cannot run multiple terminals anymore.

previous versions cpu usage never EVER went above 25-30%! NOW after the

few seconds it jumps above 90%"

Test 8: new MT4, connected to broker #2, no charts, CPU=10-12% (after stabilisation)
Same issue here.
Repeat till broker #10 and CPU usage 7-8%.
Before v600 all work correctly.
Thanks in advance for support.
