The goxlag shot to 2 minutes solely as a result of my order. Before the order it was ~1 second.
My hunch is that goxlag is operated auto-manually.
At 9:57 I enter a market order to buy 700 bitcoins. The goxlag is about 2 minutes, after which I learn that I only get like 470 bitcoins.
I guess I misunderstood what you were saying then...
My point is that sturle is probably the one right now with most money tied up at Mt. Gox, that is why you have to respect him. He is putting his money where his mouth is. He also seems to have put a lot of time into doing research about the situation. If he really was such a shady character as some of you try to make him out to be, he surely could have caused a lot more trouble for everyone listening to him.
