I have only been saying this since version .5 or so... Cruise has high
speed access, so he doesn't know how bad it is when you have a slow PC
and a slow net connection hehehe. A few people would like to see client
side animation done by files which tell what to animate when rather than
sending the image changes, especially users who are from places where
high speed access is not so easily available
