Are you sure about the speed? It takes several seconds from selecting the
settings window to it actually comming up. And in 'change settings'
window, when you click on the "chooser" gadget there is a very perceptible
dealy before the window changes.

Except that's not really the case quite often is it? The stop gadget is 
ghosted, and when it (apparently) starts to decode 10 images at the same 
time, the machine becomes so sluggish it's not even possible to click on 
the stop gadgets...(in network window)

Its a pity classact doesn't support patching of editing hooks (=no paste 
in forms)
