It looks to me like a "no result" game. Is it true?

Do you think it would make sense to play elsewhere if you wanted this result?

Assuming that there are no ko threats big enough, this situation will repeat as long as there are valid moves on the board.

A molasses ko makes the game five times slower. If there is two molasses kos of differnt sizes the game get 25 times slower. There might be even more molasses kos.
