Tradestation ES data

Quote from vanilla2:

I used to be a support person (not proud of that), and in my posts to the support forum with EL and software questions I find that on the harder questions, they don't go the extra mile (with exceptions). Several times I've waited 24 hours for a half-ass response that drags my question out for days. It's almost like they're hoping you'll just give up when you post a tough question. In the beginning I was pleasantly surprised that they have an EL forum at all, but the service is not sterling.

..this isn't unique to TS unfortunately.

I watched it last night during slow action, and noticed a definite increase in speed, though ticks were still lagging IB, albeit by a much smaller fraction than before. I'm not sure if this is simply due to the size of TS and the fact that it is running charts, or possibly also the marginal 242 RAM on my machine.

This morning, it was also definitely faster. Occasionally it even seemed as though it may be leading IB by a fraction though I'm not sure. Also, at least three times this morning, @ES froze on TS for 30 seconds or more.

Can anyone corroborate? What did you observe?
 
I was at my desk most of the day, and ES was right in tune with TWS. One would change, I'd glance at the other and it had changed already. I had TWS right above the bid/ask window in TS, so the time to look from one source to the next would be about a quarter second or so - good enough in my book.

I never had TS freeze today.

Frankly, I am amazed at how fast it is. I thought for sure that it would still be at least a little slower than TWS - TWS doesn't send all the information that TS does. Strange. . .

Anyway, I am running version 7.1, it's fast and I'm happy! Today, anyways :D

Today however, I'm getting intermittent slowdowns, and bursting quotes. :(

Sounds like TS needs some time to get the kinks out. Maybe give em 6 months.
