[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Anything using SyncServices takes a long time to sync - why?

[Brian M. Criscuolo]

Joshua,

It isn't necessarily Sync Services that is causing the slowdown. Its  
more like our conduits and their interaction with Sync Services, and  
it is something I'm currently working on. Things will get better. :)

The slowdown gets worse with a greater number of records. I sync ~300  
contacts lickity-split, but many users have > 1000 contacts. And tons  
of events going back years.
