Use early stopping using ExpertRemove() if you meet a certain condition like too low equity or drawdown etc. Split your code into sections which need OnTick processing and functions which can run less frequent, like once a minute. Use a powerful multicore server for backtesting or rent one online (OVH, Hetzner etc).

avoid using functions as Comment or printf during testing. You can use a parameter to use them or not, maybe a bool parameter ShowComments for example and set it to false if testing . It helped to me.
