You can ignore the messages about file compression. That is occurring since you are running on an emulator.

As to why it takes longer to load NQ than the NAS100, one item that would affect this is the amount of data that underlies each instrument. If NQ has much more trading occurring then that will require more data to be loaded. Although when we look at these two instruments, they look to be about the same in terms of the underlying data.

Another item that would affect the loading is if you saving Market Depth. Since the NQ has Market Depth and NAS100 does not, it will take longer for NQ to load since it is also pulling in that market depth data.
