Hi Eddie,
Sounds like you did a bit better than I.
I think the RadarScreen2000i is probably a big resource
hog and might be whats really slowing TS2k down.
Are you running RadarScreen2000i or just TS2k?
Also, I opened my OptionStation Today briefly. It looks
to be a hog as well.TS2K never really caught up after
this.
Do you happen to have a tick count for June Day S&P
and/or for INDU.
I would just like to hear a few other tick counts from
other people to see how good\bad TS2k's GS is behaving
on different machines.
Thanks,
Alan C
