[Quickfix-developers] Performance

[Hei C. <str...@ya...>]

Hi,

I just wonder whether anyone has compared the performance of the latest quickfix/C++ 1.13.3 with 1.12.4.

With 1.12.4 (with a small modification -- added support to set send buffer size), it seems to be faster than 1.13.3 during my ping test:
- A server logs the timestamp and sends me a "ping" FIX message.
- My server replies and the server logs the timestamp when it receives my reply.

The ping time increased from 2.2275ms to 2.65833ms out of 120 pings within an hour.

Although I understand that it is not a very accurate measure (since the time isn't logged in microsecond and # of samples are few), it roughly indicates some performance degradation.

I am not saying that there must be a performance degradation...

But I am curious whether anyone on the list can share some stats...

Thanks in advance.


Cheers,
Hei
