Hmmm. I've been using ange-ftp on 19.25 for a long while now and the fact
that I did have to wait around was major factor of cheese for me. Then I
switched to Lucid 19.10 and the ange-ftp I'm using there is (I guess)
asynchronously copying files, because I can edit, read mail etc while
the file is being transferred.
So how come this is implemented in Lucid but not GNU Emacs?
