Glad to read this, Brian. And of course, you took it just the right way, as a reminder, not as some 'OMG, don't do this!' text.

I found the CS planes to be sensible with time compression from 'time to time'  :D, but they don't officially support this though. But 2x always works, 4x often and 8x is a bit touchy then.
Panel state save on the 767 is a no-brainer, works fine for example. 727, from reports, not though.
