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

Hi again,
My observations confirm what monitorit says.

Doing the calculations from other end- database settings :
1min/1100bars/34kb per symbol.
Backfill of 60 symbols took me 47min (before the market open and I was
not runing AB the day before).

60symbols * 34kb per symbol -> ~2Mb  during 47min -> gives avarege
backfill transfer of 0.7kb/s   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHERE IS THE BOTTLENECK?

Obviously streaming large number of symbols and runing scans whole day
with a 0.7kb/s transfer has to cause delays. And I noticed that if I
only use Quotetracker the delay is not that large.

If I can download files from internet at 500kb/s the backfill should
have similar transfer rate.

Can other users of AB confirm the numbers I get by running similar
test on their database?
