But when i want to test strategies where bar period is above 60, would having .t6 (1M OHLC) files of the assets improve the speed of testing? Is having both a good idea/bad idea?

They're still pretty accurate when you use 'set(TICKS)', but this also depends on your trading strategy. For a HFT-like strategy I would always suggest a T1 data set.
