I agree, Martin's improvements have made a huge difference, in my
recent experience.  Thanks, Martin!  I inferred from the conversation
that the performance is variable, and I think my tests of it have been
in off-peak times, so my current impressions should be regarded as
anecdotal ... another reason why I hadn't volunteered my opinion until
this request for input.
