MadMonkey: nope not fair but unfortnetly there is always a down side to changing the vacation rules. someone will be un happy no matter what. My proposal of giving people a speed rating they can use to see if they want to play a game with someone has no downsides because it is not changing things just giving us more information to make intelligent decisions by. It will not guarantee a game will go fast but will at least let you avoid those chronic dodlers if you care. If such a system is implemented then you should be able to set limits for games and tournaments.
