In the morning, I submit about a dozen subscribe requests. (I'm really only interested in getting the Summary message, if that matters.) According to my logs, it is taking 25 seconds from when I submit the request to when I get the first summary message!

Is this expected behaviour? What can I do to speed this up? I could accept a 0.5-1 second delay but 25 seconds is far too long.

Adrian, I agree, 25s is far too long and certainly not expected behavior.

The first thing we need to troubleshoot this is to confirm that the issue is with the feed itself and not a problem in your application.

The first step to determine if this is the feed or your app is to isolate your app from the issue. I recommend using the developer tools (an example app or the included WatchQuote App) to see if the problem exists there as well (without your app running at all).

Let me know what you are using to test this and let me know the results.

Note, you can also email developer support any information that you would prefer to not post on a public forum (or if it is easier for you).

I am also available in chat (accessible via the web site after you have logged in) during normal business hours.

You're right, it's probably my app, no question. IQFeed has been great which is why this surpriseh me so much. I asked expecting this answer but figuring it was the easiest thing to rule out. I'll run some more tests and let you know if I need more help. Thanks Steve!

Tests with a new app and even with the problem app during the afternoon shows that I'm getting the summary message in <1sec (100-300ms). I'll try running some tests on Monday at the open to see if that changes anything.
