My group and I just talked about this today.  There are only three of us
that get together and two of us take turns Marshalin'.  We both decided
that combat seems like it drags for the Marshal because he has lots to be
thinkin' about but it doesn't seem to for the players.  The player has got
plenty to keep track of while someone else it taking their turn.  Guess it
just depends on the person.
