I think it got to do with the coding, if you loop through all the trades and/or check history trades etc etc it could decrease the speed of calculations ... that can also happen with every tick or multiple times with a tick , so if you backtest with real ticks then it could also take longer .... If you also got multiple strategies and multiple indicators running simultanously can be a factor slowing down calculaitons !
