I really don't get this, what is the problem with replica's speed? I run replica once every week or two and it typically runs for about 30 secconds. This is not a major part of my life, it doesn't stop me working in another window. 9p being slow over high latency links is occasionally an annoyance but replica is not a good example of this. -Steve
