Back tester speed

Is the backtester being slower than usual ?

Or is it just me ?

no its sloooooooooow....

I did a two (2) day backtest using the pipeline for custom factor balancing and it was taking over a minute for me to hit the first debug breakpoint in the initial piece of factor code. Quite unusable for me at times.

All I needed to know, they must be doing something at the moment.
