My question is, does this guy just SOAR in the Matrix?

I had a problem with this in my games. See, the mages would get inc.
reflexes level 4 spell locked onto them at character inception. This
leaves little to no room for improvement! Worse was the mages foing before
the samurai!

We'd drawn up rules to simulate body fatigue and hyper-motion activity on
the body to put this initive thing in check. (We had guys going around 56,
without re-rolling '6's!) But the problem died down a bit. It's not as
bad as it was.
