Interesting post above that indicates some TS traders experiencing "freeze-ups" during tick data bursts....

especially emini futures.

I think some of the problems are related to level II quotes which just cause a barrage of data to the workstation.

 

Win/XP as well, appears to be a culprit....not the best for trading applications :

I run both Tradestation and eSignal. The nice thing about using
Tradestation when scalping index futures contracts is that most of the
internal market data series that I follow (NYSE Tick, Trin, Premium,
P/C ratio) are updated every second. eSignal updates them every 6
seconds. More frequent updates means that you're less likely to miss
critical extreme readings.
