In my experience if and when marshalls actively manage courses they do it wrong. So many times they hound a group kind of in the middle of a slow down and are too afraid to confront an alpha male or member group at the front of the slow down.

Sure you can get group number 8 to speed up a tad to the group ahead, but that often only temporarily speeds up the groups behind as they quickly catch group 7 and the lead slow group still has the overall course speed at a snails pace.
