[Quickfix-users] excessive latency of sendToTarget

[Joachim W. <joa...@ia...>]

Greetings,

we plan to use quickfix on the client side, and have implemented a small 
prototyp. We have no significant experience with quickfix.

When testing the prototype, we noted that the call to 
FIX::Session::sendToTarget() takes extremely long - we typically see 
latencies starting at 25ms (sic!) up to >100ms. Milliseconds. We would 
expect latencies clearly below 1ms.

This is
- with the ordermatch test market at the other end
- all running locally on a unloaded high-end 8-core machine
- latest quickfix release

Any idea what's wrong here?

  thanks, Joachim
