First of all, please use the latest version: 1.08

Hmm .. sounds strange. For me (using a PIII/600MHz) Xnee isn't slow at
all. I haven't heard this from others. Can you tell me how you use Xnee,
by
  1) sending me the command line
  2) sending over the log file generated by Xnee (using the -o option)

When using Xnee to replay a sessions I figure you use a tool to trigger
the replay (perhaps xkeymouse:)?

Works fine with me! However I will look into this and the other reports
after 5:th december). I will try to do it before but I can't promise
anything!

No.. already said that :)

No reports so far on this! I don't know if anybody uses the option.

When testing Xnee I use swinput (look at savannah.gnu.org) and when
replaying a swinput-faked session using Xnee in replay mode I make sure
that Xnee is within 90%-110% of the time as when recorded. No problems
reported from the test scripts.
