John,

Thanks for the clarification.  I confess to not understanding the 
technology behind such systems.  Instead, I adopt a 'trader/end user' 
perspective which simply says: one system fills plain stop orders almost 
instantly, while the other has a delay of several seconds.  As an end-user, 
that's all I need to know!

Simon.
