The meter performance is affected by a multitude of variables and affects
every player differently due to their location, internet service provider,
computer, what is installed on the computer and the settings on the computer/
browser. We are working on several solutions which will make the meter more
consistent or perform smoother in more conditions but we do not have a simple
or catchall solution that we can release. We do and will continue to seek
solutions.
But to be clear WGT does not have any control to vary the meters
performance by time, type of game, round or stroke. We cannot target an
individual nor a specific stroke.
If the meter is performing better or worse at a particular moment it is
probably due to congestion between the server and your machine or the current
CPU and RAM utilization on your computer. We have found that most of the
issues have to do with the amount of RAM you have and the CPU performance of
your system. Running streaming music/video, itunes, anti virus scans,
etc... will noticeably degrade the performance of the meter.
This being said we are actively investigating ways to improve the meter.
