I like "retract on the way", but I'm not sure it works too well. I've had gaps trying this on Repetier. But can we make this an option in the GUI? I think there's still hope for it.

I also had pretty good success just ignoring the ooze and running at a pretty high print rate. The only place this lets me down is during a Z-Move, which are always slow and in a fixed XY position. I overcame this by combining my Z-move with a sufficient quantity of XY moves just prior. The lift seems to be safe enough (doesn't disturb the print) and my head never pauses in one place anymore.
