Thanks Tomasz for your responsiveness in fullfilling our requests to have 1 sec or below tick data together with floating point volume. This exceeds my own expectation.
Could you share with us the performance of 64 bits PackDate structure vs the current 32 bits? I presumed that 44 bytes per bar vs the current 40 bytes per bar, would only mean a 10% extra memory/L2 cache requirements, and shouldnt affect peformance too much with the exception that if a backtest is currently just under the cache boundary would soon be over with 5.27.
