Do you have a similar observations?
I tried the new Bookmap DOM Pro and it seems to be the fastest one.
But that $99/month for a DOM window is quite a price tag (I don't need that fancy bubbles)
Can you help answer these questions from other members on futures io?

It is a great DOM , I use it already since 1.5 years and really like it Sorry, but I don't know from where your idea comes that you have to pay $ 79.--/month. It is part of Global+ and you don't have to pay an extra-fee.

Well, it's actually $99/month for Global+ if you prefer monthly subscription

The speed is nice for Bookmap and the rest as well. I like Sierra Chart . The DOM is not as fast but offers 100 price levels on the bid and ask side which is important to me.

Bookmap and Rithmic-data shows the entire orderbook and not just 100 price-levels, but of course SC is a very good software

You can adjust the update interval on each software. Are they all set the same or would this account for the visual difference?

How do you change the update interval on SC?

I already applied all of the suggested performance changes suggested by the SC support, including: separate (main) instance of the SC is dedicated only to the DOM window chartbook, no other charts, refresh rate set to minimum, minimum required order book depth, no additional indicators.
It's still much slower than the BM DOM Pro (with no tuning). I can roughly see about 50% of the fast backticks/upticks in SC vs what I see using BM
