TS2Ki with all the latest updates on a P-233 with 256MB RAM on NT SP5 works
fine. I've got about 35 workspaces with 3 charts in each and about 5
indicators in each chart. The only problem is when a bunch of alerts go
off at once or when the same alert goes off frequently, things slow to a
crawl. Even with that problem, it is quite useable. I had to switch to
TS2Ki or lose my TSE feed from Signal OnLine. In retrospect, had I known
how long the process of getting to a working TS2Ki configuration from my
previous TS4 configuration was going to take, (over a month and a half) I
might have decided to switch data suppliers instead, but it does seem to be
working reasonably well now. -uf
