Today, before I sent my email.  It may have been a temporary issue,
but a half-dozen or so routes I tried were much faster on the
geofabrik routing demo.  On the other hand, the nroets demo has
wonderful options for non-car routing that would be great for testing
walking / cycling connectivity.  But so what?  I'm just one user.  I'm
not writing the code to make it work; it all just looks like magic to
me.
