Shadowbeat had an article on it, but it took huge ammounts of time to
improve skills. (Something like 30/#of successes on current SL with
target = New SL)

My house rule is that when learning skills, it takes five days to get
level 1, and after that, it takes a number of days equal to the ammount of
Karma spent to improve the skill. You still have folks learning things at
a crazy level of speed, but it slows down the players a bit, but not so
much that they revolt.

I will also let characters "earn" 1 Karma/week of intense study with a
teacher (that they have to pay using something like the cost for magic
teachers). It doesn't count towards Karma Pool or Rep, but they can spend
time training.
