How about you not being so generic in your post and mentioning
how many charts you have open and how many indicators are
on your charts and how fast your computer is so we can compare?
Maybe the fastest computer in the world is just
not fast enough for the demands you have for it. I would suggest
take a look at your memory. Fast CPU's is not the only thing
important. Look if your memory is all used up wich would
incredibably slow down the computer. And if you notice yourself
that with half the charts and half the indicators that the problem
is solved, why not get a second computer ?
