You don't provide any formula or any details to help you,
but you should try

Buy = 0; Sell = 0;

scan. It will show you "data access" only speed. It is *BASE* time
below which you can go down because the data source is limiting you.

On my eSignal intraday database that has 200000+ bars per symbol
scanning 124 symbols with such basic formula takes 6 seconds
(all symbols streaming and backfilled already)

Any time above that base time is caused by the formula you wrote.
