Oh, they will. All they did was to leave the debugging code in so it
shouldn't be really a major problem to fix it. The final beta version, was
pretty fast so I'd expect the fixed version of 1.28 to be so too. OK, so
they made a bit of an embarassing boo-boo, but that can happen to anyone
can't it?

Other than the speed of news downloads (and the unfortunate problem with the
current Fresco) I find the Suite rather good though, as with every piece of
software, there are areas in which it could be improved (a lot of them just
down to personal preference).
