For many months, IQFeed has been flawless. Every morning before market open I backfill roughly 500 symbols for the last 10 days or so and the process typically takes about 5-8 minutes.

Over the last few days (since Monday) it has been taking upwards of 20 minutes...

Anyone else experiencing slower backfill times? I'm using the 4.7.2.0 client with Amibroker.

Once the backfills are done and the symbols are in the cache, the realtime feeds seem to be fine.

Thanks,
David

Yes I have been noticing this as well. It takes more than twice as long as it used to which seems to match up with what you are seeing.

Please contact customer support first thing tomorrow with details of which IQFeed servers you are connecting to as well as what software you are using, what type of history data is being pulled, etc. We will dig into this to see what could be causing any changes in the performance you are seeing.
