Anyone else have bad luck with dry yeast?

Every time I use dry yeast the lag time and fermentation times are double when I use liquid yeast w/ a starter.

I don't use dry yeast.

I've had good success with liquid yeast handled properly on brewday with well oxygenated wort. I use two packs on big big beers and never have more than 12 hour lag time.

I use it exclusively, mainly because I don't trust liquid yeast to be shipped during the hot months, nor do I have a local source for any. Not driving down to Brewstock in New Orleans just for yeast. Maybe I'll start using liquid once LA Homebrew gets up and running.
