Can I make the standard streaming API works little faster , it says real time but it is actually not. it Gives tweet after 3 to 4 seconds

What library are you using to read the stream? and how are tweets parsed when read from the stream? Are you doing any additional deserialization or other processing? What kind of network is the machine that’s reading the stream on? Is this your laptop on wifi or a server with a good connection?

For me, 3 to 4 seconds would be in the generally ok range of latency - not great but not bad either - there are multiple sources of latency that add up (network, OS, your application code), some parts you can control, others are completely outside of your control. When you send a test tweet from your machine, there might be more of a delay when posting it rather than receiving it once it appears on twitter.
