[Quickfix-developers] Timing stats

[George H. <ge...@so...>]

Hello everyone,

Has anyone here looked into turnaround times between arrival time of a  
deal and response?

Any numbers?

I am doing a simple Initiator/acceptor test app and I am getting times  
of 2-4 milliseconds.
This is the time between the moment the deal arrives in the acceptor:

	void Application::onMessage( const FIX44::NewOrderSingle& message,
		const FIX::SessionID& sessionID )

...
...
...
and the following:

  	try
	{
		FIX::Session::sendToTarget( executionReport, sessionID );
	}
	catch ( FIX::SessionNotFound& ) {}


Connection is "localhost" to "localhost" on a very fast Xeon box.

Are these times normal?

I have an app that requires a 50 microsecond turnaround. Is this even  
possible?

Regards,
