the bigger difference with TLers isn't the amount of time to type (at least for most people), its that:
1. There are no zone messages when the TLers arrive. I thought I recalled a message in classic, at least in Butcherblock when the boats were pulling in. Maybe it was just friendly players shouting.
2. You can't jump off the sides of the boat to avoid faction issues as they pull into dock when the TLer just dumps you there. Sister Island is heap of corpses if you run by most days. Same will be true when good chars try to take the boat to the OT from TD during Kunark.
I'd say those are affecting more ppl then typing times...
