The question is not "how fast is fast forwarding?", but
"why is it crashing?" I can imagine small timing changes 
speeding up a session between other boxes.

Andrew, when it crashes, what are the symptoms?
if it really panics, then there should be a panic message.
if not then you should include DDB in the kernel
(and not start X) so that you can get a stack trace/coredump.
(actually maybe you should have a coredump already)
