Hi John,

80 orders per second would be no problem for the CameronFIX engine (or I would expect for any of our competitors) running on some pretty basic hardware. Certainly most of our sell-side clients do significantly more than this every day.

Performance figures can be a bit subjective as you would expect. However one of our New York based sell side clients reported these figures using CameronFIX in a production environment running on a dual 1GHz Intel processor machine running under Linux. Recovery persistence was implemented using our standard flat file transaction logs.

Without recovery: 3,350 messages received per second, 4,860 messages sent per second
With recovery: 2,100 messages received per second, 3,100 messages sent per second

Hope this helps.

Regards

Martin
