Daniel,
Equis will never support QP data format.
QP has a Metastock automatic update feature which does outperform 10
Metastock symbol/sec even on my entry level configuration. Your 3000
challenge would well below than 5 minutes a day. It's not the first time you
argue the redhibitive update time. Maybe you could consider questioning your
hardware options or vendors instead of QP.
