At least epee is usually more than one blade action...
Sabre= Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle... point!
And aren't they thinking about allowing the forward crossover again in sabre? So its gonna go even more back to a "who can fleche the furthest/fastest" contest. At least bouncing takes more than 2 seconds

ah, you forgot the occasional flunge in sabre, which brings the action up to about 1.5 seconds. Wow.

Id say it brings the action down a few seconds...
