What @fxsaber is suggesting, is that you run a test with an EA that does nothing, hence why he has shown the code for one (an EA consisting of a single line of code).
The premise, is to detect if the problem is in the code, or if it is something else that is wrong, such as with the Strategy Tester or the MetaTrader installation.
That is how one troubleshoots to find the cause, by a process of elimination.
So, run the test as suggested, and show all log output if the problem persists.

I spent the rainy weekend to explore my expert advisor....
The issue was very hard to find, but after all, I had a big success!!! - so I will share some information about the performance issue.
The reason was error #4014 !!!
this error I never see in the realtime environment, also you can't see it in debug mode. It was only present in the strategie-tester while you testing a various kind of symbols at the same time.
In my case, I have an error looking active in my expert advisor. The error module writes all errors while running the EA into a logfile. Normally there are only a few entrys there.
But in my testcase the stratgie-tester fills the logfile with tons of entries.
May this information help others to tune up an EA for multiple symbol test.
