Regarding v2716 - it runs my chartbooks now, but still laggy in every aspect. Most concerning is the lag when using the cursor and the trade window on my chart - e.g. click on BUY BID, wait for it....ok, order applied....this never happened in v2700 and before. The cursor and pull down menu action are also still laggy. Another concern for me, I use the Spreadsheet for Trading to exit trades at target and I'm more than a little suspicious of that response time. FYI, I did go thru my charts and any chart that has bar times >60min got a setting of 30000 ms. The others are at 0 = Global which is set @500. I see others are trying to "tune" by what seems like a random "try this" approach. IMO, A more logical approach is needed. I get it, windows is not my daily driver either (Linux user here). I only use Windows as an appliance OS for running SC. I've tried to look up MS timers and came across some gamers that have various hacks to these little demons to improve their FPS experience and of high suspect is the timer HPET so I disabled that one and it didn't seem to make a difference in any release. Anyway, since Team SC can't seem to reproduce any of the ill effects many of us are having, perhaps it's a HW to OS specific problem as HW OEM's do a lot of work when it comes to drivers and getting MS stable on their HW releases? Grasping at straws here because in order to trade live, I need at least v2700 response times (near real time). Another problematic test case was the 2 users who rebuilt their chartbooks/charts which solved their problem - I agree - how the hell could that solve the problem as it doesn't make sense, but there it is - and oh how I dislike the thought of doing that, but I will if that's what it takes. Going back to v2700 until I can't. |
