Really only have taken a good look at the 100 breastroke (men) times, but, over-all really slow (in my opinion) No world records. Has the suits made that much difference? I don't know. Pool conditions-weather-who knows??
After the 2nd day (as far as I can read!):
4 WR in 800 free (2 male, 2 female)
3 WR in 200 back (2 male, 1 female)
1 WR in 100 free (male)
The weather is not the best, its been a bit cold (all saturday + sunday morning), wet (most of saturday + Sunday morning) and windy (sunday afternoon) which may have slowed down some of the swimmers in the outdoor pool (men Saturday, women Sunday)
These are my first worlds, don't know if 8 WR in 2 days are tooo few - but it's great here anyway ;)
and they are way off on the time schedule. the 100 br mens was planned to started t 14:15. it was closer to 15:30 I planned my day around swimming at 15:30 and it was well after 1700 before my heat went in.

Most of the top Americans(you) didn't go.The winner in 60-64 men's 100 BR wasn't much off his time from Palo Alto(before the shiny suits.)

Maybe Leslie was right. I thought that women would fare much better than men with the suit change rules, but if this is any indication, they are swimming slower too.
The few times at the top are slower, but Cecilia Stanford, the only common name on the list is actually .4 faster this time. And the end of the top ten is two seconds slower.
I don't think you can draw any conclusions from this group. It's too different from last time.

Plus take in to account the pool, time change and climate.
