I second the motion...
but also add the following....



We at Oaris Gmbh (Switzerland) are about 
to go in production with quickfix...  

Our expirience so far is that: not only 
is the software extreemely well designed, 
but is fast enough for usage in our real 
time ORS (Order Routing System).

We've found that most of the (OrderInsert)
elapsed time is spent waiting for the our 
counter parties to act on the order.  

In short, we can confirm it's responsive...

But your question was more about through put
and we don't expect the type of "heavy" loads
on our routing system, where this was a concern.

Unfortunatetly, I donot any stats, I can 
offer you.
