Latency and slippage with new UK-based Prop Firm - Anyone seeing this?

We're running some algos through a new prop firm, relatively recent entrant in the UK. Onboarding was a bit clunky, took longer than anticipated with the KYB docs, but eventually got through. Issue we're seeing now is noticeable latency during high-volatility events, particularly on $EURUSD and $GBPUSD. It's not just quote lag, but actual execution slippage that's impacting performance significantly. We've benchmarked against our existing setups and this firm consistently lags. Anyone else experienced this with newer prop outfits, or have suggestions for specific questions to put to them regarding their infrastructure beyond the standard 'what's your server co-lo' spiel? Wondering if it's a systemic issue with their LP relationships or something else entirely.

It's not uncommon for new prop firms, especially those just getting their infrastructure fully optimized, to struggle with high-volatility events. Did you stress-test their execution capabilities before committing serious capital, or did you just jump in after the KYB?

It's not uncommon for newer prop firms, especially those expanding rapidly, to experience growing pains with infrastructure during peak volatility. Have you tried comparing their execution with a different liquidity provider's average during those same high-volatility windows?

It's not uncommon for newer firms to struggle with infrastructure under stress, especially during major market events. Have you tried comparing their execution reports to a deeper liquidity provider's average slippage during similar high-volatility periods?
