I do not understand it: a whole branch, quite large, but nobody has ever suggested to measure not only history generation time but also the main thing - optimization time of the same Expert Advisor on different processors/machines. I'm going to buy a new computer, so why should I measure the generation time of ticks? I do not want to take it seriously. I understand that it correlates well, but the tasks are different anyway. One thing is to generate a history, and another thing is to calculate and make deals on this history.

So there is something here, but it is also missing something essential...

Maybe we should test it one more time? Only the criteria should be discussed and approved first!
