For Manuel, about Scala...

Manuel,

I've got a couple of questions about Scala; do you prefer to discuss things in a private correspondence or are you comfortable bouncing topics around in public in a forum like this?

My main point for starters is (still, I guess) the problem of long waits for the file list to come up (i.e. the actual .scl files in a subdirectory).

Cheers,
Jon
