Let's not jump to conclusions. It took a long time to log in on a
DecStation, and that wasn't a showstopper then. I don't think human
physiology and nervous response has changed so much since then.
In any case, I would attribute a lot of this to the locker-oriented
nature of the current aui. Certainly the real thing needs to move
into the release at some point.
