This is a major reason why NYGM and GW are so huge to download and such a pain for those with dial-up modems. The benefit is, as stated by users in this thread, completely marginal. No one is likely to use the Kiel Canal after 1940, and the only way to get a speedy transit is to alter the time compression while traversing the canal. Then alter it back again afterwards.

I really would like to see this near-worthless burden removed.

Yes I grant you its a slow process but if you are playing with limited fuel its a godsend
I normally plot my way thru Kiel and bugger off and do something else
Let the thing run itself to the end
