By this I mean it doesn't get a response from the api for a considerable time - maybe a couple of minutes, occassionally near the off on a Saturday it may be longer. When it does this then the other BA data, odds/money/matched amount all becomes delayed, buffered, throttled call it want you will.
Now when using ba version 37a then the API although it does 'hang', it doesn't appear to do this as often, nor for as long. It also doesn't appear to delay the odds/money/matched amount at all.
It is worth pointing out that the COM call may hang on the race on say Tab1, but will delay the data on all of the other tabs. Obviously the most noticeable effect is on any races near to setting off, where it creates the biggest problem and is most evident.
I haven't done exhaustive tests, but this is what appears to happen. I'm no expert in these matters so you'll have to let me know if I'm doing something wrong, using COM, or whether it's just the way the BF API operates and there's nothing that can be done about it.
Many thanks and best regards,

The strength of Gruss Software is that it’s been designed by one of you, a frustrated sports punter, and then developed by listening to dozens of like-minded enthusiasts.
Gruss is owned and run by brothers Gary and Mark Russell. Gary discovered Betfair in 2004 and soon realised that using bespoke software to place bets was much more efficient than merely placing them through the website.
Gary built his own software and then enhanced its features after trialling it through other Betfair users and reacting to their improvement ideas, something that still happens today.
He started making a small monthly charge so he could work on it full-time and then recruited Mark to help develop the products and Gruss Software was born.
We think it’s the best of its kind and so do a lot of our customers. But you can never stand still in this game and we’ll continue to improve the software if any more great ideas emerge.
