I was remembering this thread http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.slime.devel/6507/
(I believe the REPL code was added without considering this variable and mode of behaviour and so was incompatible, and now slime has to discourage the use of the mode in effect deprecating it. Had it been supported, the alternative design would have been a framework for the repl machinery in which both modes of operation coexisted without problems to either)
I discourage the dedicated stream because I'd like to improve the speed of the non-dedicated stream or at least understand why the dedicated stream is no much faster.
