    Opinions on New TWS Charting 911: Better or Worse

    IB rewrote a lot of this code. BEfore it was clunky but for the most part worked. Now they rewrote the code AND added new features. (or just glommed on a bunch of code, or both) Now it seems broken. Memory loss bug is the worst and overloads Java. The infamous 25% CPU usage...
