Is it possible that data throughput is slower with DSData than with the DDE Server?

Yes. On a few PC / Operating System / application combinations we’ve seen better responses with the DDE Server than with DSData. Without getting too technical, the 16-bit DDE Server basically had one copy of the DDE data and the pieces of the DDE Server sent messages to each other to process the data. Because of the protected-mode nature of 32-bit applications, the DSData Server requires two copies of the data; one in the communication server and on in DSData. This means that the various pieces need to send process messages as well as actual data to each other. The up-side is that WinNT and Win2K are optimized to handle these types of applications.
