These modern machines are increasingly common around Europe, and always when I see them I have this "oh no, not again" reaction fearing the theatre will take forever. But it doesn't. It is usually as smooth as it used to be with the old machines, and there is usually someone monitoring the machine right there.

Only at HEL are the machines so tremendously slow. Is this only because they have just one person looking at all the machines' monitors simultaneously in some back room?
