Good question.  It falls under the category of "I've been told...".  I tend
to either access systems that are painfully slow _anyway_, or blindingly
fast in every case, so I can't say I've seen a difference either.  Maybe
I'll play with fish on one of the slow ones today, and see if it's notably
worse.
