[amibroker] Re: "SLOW" backfill and delay with IQFeed

Tomasz, I use qpFeed not IQfeed but have had a problem forever that 
is somewhat the same.  There is NO problem when just updating a few 
symbols continuously-but- if I try to keep about 75-100 symbols 
updating, the quotes come in slower and slower.  The people at the 
quote provider say they get no complaints and there is no problems 
sending out the quotes.  Can you try to set up a 1 minute db with 
about 100 tickers, the layout has 5 windows all symbol-linked (1min, 
2min, 5min, 15min and daily).  Use any simple indicator with the 
price (ie 10 bar MA).  Run any simple AA to cause all 100 tickers to 
update.  Then see how long the symbols take to get up to date and 
more important, come back a few hours later and see the time of the 
last bar compared to the time on your clock.. has it fallen behind?  
You can just leave the original symbol displayed- no need to change 
symbols after the first change after running the AA.  I know we have 
discussed this before- but I wonder if you have done my little 
experiment yourself?
Thanks again and I remain convinced AB is the best by far.
Dan
