You need to optmize your codes
 

  1. Enlarge the tester window.

  2. EAs : Don't do per tick what you can do per bar, or on open.
    If you are waiting for a level, don't reevaluate, wait until price reaches it (or a new bar starts, and you recalculate.)
    If you are waiting for an order to close, only look when OrdersTotal (or MT5 equivalent) has changed.

  3. Indicators: Code it properly so it only recomputes bar zero (after the initial run.)

    Or, reduce Tools → Options (control+O) → Charts → Max bars in chart to something reasonable (like 1K.)
