I discovered that the Optimizer was not hanging, but takes between 20 and 30 minutes to do ONE pass! And this with a simple EA with only 6 parameters and testing with only 4 months data.
I calculated to do 2000 passes will take more than a month!
Previously with XP (I now use Windows 7) and a MT4 build lower than 500 it went a 100 times faster.
Am I doing something wrong - or is this normal?

I want to optimize the parameters of a new EA I have written, but the Strategy Tester just hangs/do not react if I click Start in Optmization mode.
Am I missing something about the new build?
