That has changed in 4.5. They send only changed data, and it looks a lot
faster than it used to be. (I saw it last week at Vision.)

But it works just fine. I've always done it that way. They need to work
on the clear text password thing, though.

The two GUIs will look a lot more alike, but the OTM parameters and exclude
lists are still Windows only. They are working on that for a future
release, though.
I must say, the new GUI looks VERY nice. I really like the look and feel
of it, and it didn't seem slow at all.
