Hi Santer, I don't think I have heard of Yahoo JSON being slow before. I just did a test and for my 16 stocks it took approx. 15 seconds. Is it just slow for you or does it actually hang? If you don't mind telling us, how many stocks do you have using Yahoo JSON? If you are using Windows, have you tried using my new YahooJSON.pm that has the warning messages fixed?
