Are you trying to start the MT4 terminal to get it working or simply a way to lower the CPU utilization by your EAs?
If the first - start the client and cancel the login. No login, no EAs working.
If the second - contact your programmer or let us see the code. The only limitation to cycle time for EAs is when you try to unload them(deinit) and it's 3 seconds.

I have been experiencing heavy CPU processing whenever EAs are loaded as indicated by the Windows Task Manager showing MetaTrader as the offender with processing sometimes going to 100% for 'terminal.exe *32'. I have tried downloading the trading platform again imagining that I had a virus but it was to no avail. Is there any way to limit cycles available to MetaTrader to see if this will make a difference?
