Has anyone compared the speed of TS2000 with TS4?
I just did an 11 test optimisation of a simple system on the same 8 trading
days of 24 hour tick data and it took 60 seconds on TS4 and 4 minutes(!) on
TS2000.
My machine is an AMD K2-300 with 128mb RAM and Windows 98. The system was
freshly transferred to TS2000 and the system was automatically built. I
changed nothing but it showed 25% more trades and lower profit than on TS4.
I ran both tests with only one version loaded at a time and the Servers
offline.
I had 8 days of data in TS4 but needed to load 11 days in TS2000 to get the
same date range - does TS2000 count calendar days while TS4 counts days of
data?
Even so, the speed of TS2000 is extremely disappointing. Everything seems
to run like molasses compared to TS4.
BTW, I have the MS-Office 2000 beta loaded. I moved all the OBDC files in
windows/system to a save folder before re-installing TS2000 and it worked.
I then had to copy a few of them back to get TS4 to work again.
Anyone else unhappy with relative speed?
