Jimmy - I agree with most of what you are saying....
and especially the implication about the architecture of TS2000i:
Although pretty sophisticated, a lot of the implementation was done
poorly....
event management for one thing.
I totally disagree with you about memory requirements....adding more memory
to
a CPU-bound application is like trying to get your car to run faster by
adding more gasoline....
it just won't do anything.
Because of architecture issues, TS2000i requires lots of horsepower, and
even at the current
2.5+ gig processors, it can still max them out under certain conditions
where tick charts are prevalent and update-every-tick is set on.
