It's nice to no longer have to see the "regally" slow and pompous sheet scroll down when all I want to do is to quickly save or open something, without having to be impressed by programmers at Apple who like to be cute rather than useful.

One problem with this util: its effects stay through a restart and even a PRAM reset, but they frequently disappear for no reason I can determine--something is sometimes resetting the sheet speed back to the default value. I'm guessing, from my Mac's behavior, that the cause might be something like the Unix maintenance tasks (sometimes mistakenly called the "cron" tasks). Anybody have any other ideas?
