David,

I tried turning off the TS real time corrections per your suggestion and my
long freezes have stopped.  Today I noticed that all the ticks that come
through and are charted real time, do not make it to the tick database.  For
the minis a lot were missing, perhaps half.   Close a page and reopen it,
and the tick chart looks completely different than it did before.  At first,
I thought it was just the rebroadcasts, but upon more careful review, there
were actual swings that were missing from a 100 tick chart versus 1 min or
sp.

For my purposes, I think I still dislike this less than the freezes.  But
then again I don't use many tick charts. Have you noticed this?  By chance
have a fix?

Thanks,
Chris
