Motivation:
The journal now uses the Elsevier "Track Submission System" which is quite nice. According to the statuses shown, two potential reviewers declined to referee, while the third one accepted and carried out their duty in roughly three months. The report was spot on, and it felt that they went through the manuscript with care.
My only complaint is that it appears that the first reviewer was invited two months after the initial submission, and my revised version a month after being sent in. Both times, things started to move when I sent an email inquiring whether the process was moving along. On the one hand, the help desk was fast in reaching the handling editor and having things moving, but on the other hand a quicker handling editor would have meant a total handling time two to three months less.
