Using the slic3r .5.4 and .5.5b packages from here: http://dl.slic3r.org/linux/
The default retraction seems to be set to 40 mm/s, which is just ridiculously high speed for an extruder. I think the default should be something more sane like 10mm/s or so(10 seems to work for me, but haven't had a chance to do much testing). Not sure what works for most people, but consensus in IRC seems to say that 40mm/s is too much.

A vidoe of my extruder missing steps and making nasty sounds from trying to drive it too fast.

Also, it would be nice to have it auto retract at the end of a print.
