if you count always this can be something like

  if (slow && ncommands > skip) {
     g_usleep(slow);
  }

(not the style, we always use brackets for if).

here start the help with a capital letter.

I think these patches are really helpful!
In some cases I changed the replay code in others I waited long times.
