Bob W. has an x100. Any comments on its autofocus (or manual focus, for that matter)?

The grip and prism bump make up the size difference and probably part of the weight. It's pretty clear that Fuji is going after the M9 in that they want those who can't afford to the M9 to think of this as a good alternative. I think you've zoned in on the biggest problem, however, Frank, which is the slower AF. I've had some luck with the X-10 on moving targets (people) but my personal skill for street work is not sufficient to make a real evaluation.
