Hi Adam, We are curious as to the size of your LDM queue on tornado. We ask because the volume of data you are receiving is high: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/rtstats_summary_volume?tornado.geos.ulm.edu Data Volume Summary for tornado.geos.ulm.edu Maximum hourly volume 9322.126 M bytes/hour Average hourly volume 4661.935 M bytes/hour Average products per hour 187700 prods/hour Feed Average Maximum Products (M byte/hour) (M byte/hour) number/hour NEXRAD2 1609.383 [ 34.522%] 2206.471 55634.383 CONDUIT 1476.247 [ 31.666%] 4661.303 40444.170 NGRID 612.111 [ 13.130%] 1402.037 14442.830 NEXRAD3 297.440 [ 6.380%] 370.064 29893.638 HDS 208.653 [ 4.476%] 436.922 17260.191 FNMOC 173.058 [ 3.712%] 1850.444 1801.617 NIMAGE 158.075 [ 3.391%] 279.354 191.596 FNEXRAD 65.697 [ 1.409%] 82.139 50.511 IDS|DDPLUS 29.993 [ 0.643%] 50.081 27663.340 UNIWISC 26.050 [ 0.559%] 33.047 30.085 GEM 3.763 [ 0.081%] 29.473 258.000 FSL2 1.345 [ 0.029%] 1.604 20.000 LIGHTNING 0.120 [ 0.003%] 0.249 9.213 If your LDM queue is too small, or if tornado is not fast enough to process data out of the queue, you would be seeing a situation where data is being received, but some part of it is never seen on disk (i.e., products get overwritten in your LDM queue before the pqact invocation(s) have had a chance to act on them). Again, just a curiosity. The size of the queue should have no effect on the latencies you are seeing...
