I guess if I had to make an analogy, it would be something to the effect of: try being a bicycle courier on a bike w/ a flat tire. Or a ballet dancer trying to dance in wet overalls. I can do my job, but I've got this governor on my speed. And when the client wants it now having to wait for slow uploads/downloads and needless reconnections and {shudder} file locking or empty file issues after bad FTP uploads - does not help.
