I guess I can see it a bit quicker to start with, but then it stays 
slow. I guess the point is I preferred the quicker acceleration and 
maximum speed.

True, but I want my pony ;-). More accurately, I want my pony /back/. 
Speed-wise, I thought the old version was just fine. (The principle of 
'taking away something I liked is worse than not giving it to me in the 
first place' comes into play here.)

I was assuming it would go in the settings menu :-).

Really? aseigo thinks it is too fast (presumably, "still" too fast). I 
think it is too slow. I'm not sure how you plan to make us both happy 
w/o an option.
