Dear users of Bisq,
There is presently many disputes going on in parallell, mostly due to the filling up of the mempool. Some of the disputes are very complicated and need considerable effort to arbitrate correctly. It is of utmost importance that arbitration is done correctly. Arbitration simply will not be fast. One reason is that very often one of the traders responds with considerable delay. The arbitrators themselves are not at all full-time arbitrators but do many other things. I think the correct comparison is with arbitration in real life which takes months. And artibitrators are also humans who at times get sick etc.
