Creating objects in other charts and CPU%

I always use 3 charts (M3 M15 H1 of the same symbol). I copy a part of the drawn objects into the other charts by creating them from the main chart with ObjectCreate(chart_ID,name . . . So far so good. If I did this a few times the CPU usage of the MT5 increases from 2 - 3% to 25-30%. MT5 only
