Re trade on GW... Last week it took 6 minutes for me to get a MARKET ORDER filled on GW. Ameritrade said the order (for 1100 shares) was routed to the market maker with the best price at the time, but that maker only had 100 shares and he did a partial fill while waiting to get the other shares to fill the order.

I told Ameritrade that "ain't right". I didn't hire you to wait around and "get me the best price" I hired you to execute the order AT MARKET. On such a small order it should have happened almost instantly...SIX minutes!!! I couldn't believe it! Also, this is the second time this happened to me within the last few weeks, and I think the first time was also on GW stock (not sure).
