That is 100% true.  I have tried other products that, besides being
slow, would eventually consume all of the available memory which would
then cause their program to hang.  (10 year EOD backtest on all NYSE.)
 You could start the backtest before bed and by morning it wasn't done
*and* you needed a reboot.

So, TJ, thanks for designing AmiBroker to run the above backtest in a
couple of minutes on (my admittedly) fairly low end hardware.
