Opposite of "in real time"?

Hello people Emotion: smile

What would be the opposite of "in real time"?

I thought of "in delayed time" but I'm not too sure about this, is it good English at all?
For the record, this applies to information about stock quotes:

You receive information about the quotes <???>

Thanks for any help, as always Emotion: smile

in a computer term sense, the opposite of "real time" is "offline", as in:

The high-poly model was rendered offline in maya instead of in real time.

This may also be the word for the stock market, i'm not sure, but it sounds a heck of a lot better.

A context in which one will often hear the phrase "in real time" is in regard to television, film, or any sort of motion picture camera. In those cases, the opposite of "real time" is slow motion or fast forward. For example, while watching televised sports, the crew televising the game will often show replays of controversial plays, sometimes in slow motion. Thus, it can be easier to tell wha
