?  Indeed, Peter, indeed.  On this side of the pond, it is a well-known 
fact that gopher snakes consistentently achieve higher speeds in 
gopher-tunnels if they are liberally lubed with high-quality snake oil.  
 Similarly, Amateur Radio operators who want to improve speed of 
radiation would do well to apply a generous coating of coax-wax to any 
and all feedlines.
