message from ts. sad joke. Use web trader. I trade only when I'm asleep.

Until a resolution for this issue is identified and implemented, please use the Web Trading application in your web browser by going to
TradeStation.com. In the top right area of TradeStation.com, select Login, then Select Web Trading β Live, or Web Trading - Sim. You will log in
using the same credentials you use when accessing the desktop platform. Also, you may use the Android or iOS app on you mobile devices to manage and

This is a good read on the security flaw.
Claims of a up to 30% speed reduction after the patch.
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/01/02/intel_cpu_design_fl...
It would be interesting if someone is interested in benchmarking gsb & GSB client server setup with and without the patch.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/01/04/intel_meltdown_spect...
The effects are still being benchmarked, however we're looking at a ballpark figure of five to 30 per cent slow down, depending on the task and the
processor model. More recent Intel chips have features β such as PCID β to reduce the performance hit. Your mileage may vary.
These figures were based on estimates from people working on the KPTI patches, and from simple benchmarks, such as asking a PostgreSQL database to
select all records in a data store, and adding up all file sizes of documents on a disk. Some people have already reported noticeable degraded
performance from their cloud-hosted virtual machines after applying the Meltdown patches. Some cloud vendors insist there won't be a problem.
It really boils down to β as we said, and Intel pointed out β your workload. If you just play games on your PC, you will not see a slowdown,
beyond any delays caused by file loading, because the software rarely jumps to the kernel during gameplay. Your game will be mostly talking to the
graphics processor.
If all you do is browse Twitter, write emails, and type away in a word processor, you probably won't notice any difference. If you do a lot of
in-memory number crunching, you won't see much of an impact because again the kernel isn't getting in the way. If you have PCID support enabled on
your hardware and in your kernel, any performance hit should be minimized.
If you hammer the disk, the network, or use software that makes lots of system calls in and out of the kernel, and you're
lacking working PCID support, you will see a performance hit. And it's a good idea to warn you, right?
It's a given for this particular issue that any slowdown is dependent upon the kind of work the affected system is being asked to do. Gamers will
maintain their frame rates, but that's not what this is about. It's about enterprise workloads and data centers. With reports of SQL database
slowdowns of up to 20 or so per cent, it seems premature to say the impact should not be significant. If a company's AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google
Cloud bill ends up being, say, three, five or eight per cent higher as a consequence of prolonged compute times, that's significant.

It might be your antivirus software that is causing the problems. According to some posts I read about this fix the MS patch should not be installed
before your AV supplier have cleared their product together with the new patch from Microsoft. The patch from Microsoft is changing some fundamental
stuff inside Windows.
Just a thought.
