Today, on Thinkorswim, my orders & quotes were lagging. Could this be a product of the speed of my processor & my RAM (as I use a lap top--Pentium 4)? Or did others with high speed & high memory experience the same?

Do you have a fast processor, and high RAM?
Very important for me to hear that. Were you trading actively the last two hours?

Yes, active all day.
My machine is a dual core 2.4ghz with 2gig ram (planning to upgrade ram). I'm connected to high speed cable with fairly big pipe.

I've also noticed this several times in the past few weeks. Usually lasts 4-7 secs but have seen it last ~30 secs (seemed like forever). Have not had it happen this week. It is not likely to be my computer or pipe (both are much more than I need to trade). A few times I have had 2nd broker open which did not have issues. The one time I called - they said the system had a 'hiccup'.Quote from thomfergu:

While I like many things about ToS, I've migrated from mostly options to mostly futures over the past year or so and their platform has not been optimal for that arena..... I've started my research for a change ...
