Sounds accurate to me, Sortitus. It's mostly the point I was trying to get across.
News:
A lot of people describe Scalzi’s Old Man's War novels as military science fiction, but I would classify its sequel Zoë’s Tale as a space opera. It’s a story about, well, Zoë, a teenage girl whose parents are invited to take leadership roles in building a colony on a new planet. Zoë is an enthusiastic member of the group sent to colonize Roanoke, despite the risks—and the risks are considerable even before the political machinations of greater powers boil to the surface.

If a Feruchemist's brain could not get used to the processing speed in any practical amount of time there would be no point in having a zincmind.
And body memory is obviously not that essential or the increased size/strength that Sazed tapped would have thrown him off when he was fighting the koloss hordes and Marsh.

Most amazing game that exists, this.
I like both battle systems, but I admit that the EWatLO system is probably my favoured because it is more customisable and unique than just having everyone fight from the same deck. And that burning anger you get from having to reshuffle your deck adds that extra touch of emotion rather than the continuous barrage of specials, MP Bursts, and potions for the whole battle.

Training regimen, yes. But the whole purpose of using the zincmind beforehand would be so that the Feruchemist wouldn't need to have lots of experience.

By allowing the neural pathways that coordinate bodily control form several times faster than normal. All a Feruchemist would need would be to fight with super-tapping mental and physical speed two or three times beforehand and then the neural pathways will be built, allowing the Feruchemist the aforementioned control.

And don't forget, I did mention mental speed (zincmind), which would allow the Feruchemist super-tapping physical speed to take better control of it, probably even better than a pewter-savant, with enough.

To the Allomancer's Atium argument, a Feruchemist could always tap a good deal of both mental and physical speed to compensate; knowing what will happen a half-second in the future won't matter if you can't keep up with it, even with pewter. So, for a one-time battle of equally competant opponants, a Feruchemist would probably win. (Pardon the arrogantly short explination; feel free to shoot it into the ground.)
But if one was to fight in a tournament, or in a day-in-day-out basis (i.e. mercenary or a more popular assassin), Allomancy would be the way to go for its 'easily-replenishable' attribute.
As a sidebar, would anyone be so kind as to point me to a link (or links) in this site that explains the roots of Chromium, Larasium, and the mysterious and elusive "Hoid"?
