NT7 DataSerie vs NT8 Serie<double>: speed comparison

[fx.practic]

I made same simple strategy and run it on NT7 and NT8 to compare speed of reading price data

			if( CurrentBar >= Bars.Count - 2 ) 
			{ 
				Print("");
				Print( Instrument.FullName );
				Print( Time[ CurrentBar ].Date +" - "+ Time[0].Date );
				Print( "CurrentBar:   "+ CurrentBar      .ToString( "### ### ### ### ###" ) );
				
				int loops = 10000;
				DateTime start = DateTime.Now;
				
				double sum = 0;
				for( int i = 0; i <= CurrentBar; i++ )
				{
					for( int j = 0; j < loops; j++ ) sum += Close[i];	
				}
				
				Print( sum.ToString( "0.00" )  +"  "+ DateTime.Now.Subtract( start ).TotalMilliseconds.ToString( "### ### ### ### ###.00"+" msec" ) );
                       }

Looks, at the time, NT7 works about 30% faster.

Hello,

Thank you for the post on this.

Can you tell me what data provider are you connected to for these tests ?

I look forward to being of further assistance.
