In response to these emails,
The GSQF.Dat file is a cache file that maintains up to the last three
hundred ticks of data for ALL the symbols that one is collecting for in the
server. The size of this file is determined by the data feed which you are
using. The size of this file is between 100 to 150 megs : Actually its
either 100 megs or 150 megs for DTN - Hyper feed I believe is 300 megs.
This cache file was done with a couple of reasons in mind. First, it
prevents corruption in your data file (The PDS file) since it is not being
written to on every tick, but rather data is flushed into it every three
ticks, meaning that we open the file, write three hundred ticks, and then
close the file. Secondly, we are able to process the data faster by writing
it to a specialized cache file where indexing of the data is done with a
'linked list' concept for those c - c++ programmers out there. I do not
know what exactly is meant by 'reading emails' or copying a windows page
file, since a windows page file is memory that windows allocates for an
application (Unless you mean that we are utilizing the area windows has
allocated for our application, which is natural since every windows
application uses its allotted 'pages in memory'. I hope I have shed some
light into these issues and would be more than happy to elaborate on these
topics if you clarify your concerns.
