<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2>I am currently almost two weeks into 
the trial period using this combo.&nbsp; AIQ is ok, but not very &quot;user 
configurable&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; It has a few nice features, but seems 
overpriced.&nbsp; I guess you're paying for their proprietary &quot;expert&quot; 
indicators (which don't work with the real-time charts).&nbsp; However, the 
combination of AIQ, plus MyTrack real-time date at $79 + exchange fees, seemed 
like a pretty good deal.&nbsp;</FONT></DIV>

freezing fairly consistently while loading the MyTrack data.&nbsp; Tech support

referring the problem to an engineer.&nbsp; That was a week ago, and I haven't 
heard back.</FONT></DIV>

with MyTrack,&nbsp; which is slightly more expensive than the AIQ deal.&nbsp; 
It's not advertise anywhere on the web that I could find, and was told about it 
when I called the Linnsoft sales number.&nbsp; If AIQ doesn't come up with a 
solution for my freezing problem, I'm probably going to give them a 
try.</FONT></DIV>

All,

I wanted to share some performance enhancements with the list.

There discussions are often emails about performance issues using the
downloader.
I was experimenting performance problems with eplorations taking 16 minutes
each on my computer on 9000 stocks organized into 26 sub-directories
(K6-233, 96 Mb RAM, 2 ATA IDE drives (4.6 + 6.4 Gb), Windows NT workstation
SP4).

I tried using supercache NT 4.01e from eecsys (www.eecsys.com or
www.belt-sofware.com). This is a disk cache utility with read ahead and
write back (i.e. data is not written at once on the disk but kept in cache
for a few seconds).

I set the cache to write-back and auto-configure (it's not fine tuned yet).

Now the exploration time is 6 minute each. So performance is really
improving with that utility.
I will give improvements I will get updating data. My first impressions are
that it goes faster and disk activity seems smoother too.
