We've discussed it a year ago. file-remote-p is also used for
implementation dependent decisions; what we need is something like
"file-access-is-slow-p", which could also be true even for "local"
files, if they are mounted, or because they are extremely HUGE.
Anyway, this is another discussion. I wanted to know whether I could
change autorevert.el; I haven't seen objections until now :-)
