The same question I posed in my original post.  Is it the exchange (which I
doubt based on my past experience), Bridge, or BMI (my bet is with the feed
providers). I find it hard to believe that the exchange data punch clerks
go to sleep for 1 to 2 minutes only near the close, regardless if it is a
fast market or slow market.  When I mean no ticks, I mean no ticks for 1 to
2 minutes, as if the data feed stops, and then re-starts 1 to 2 minutes
later.  No ticks are lost, just delayed.

Is anyone out there getting similar quirkiness at the close on non-Bridge
feeds?  You may not know it if the time stamps are feed based and not PC
clock based. BMI ticks are feed based time stamps.
