Why is the timing belt such a concern

Yes, I know the answer, it will wreck valves.

More importantly, it seems that every day there is a post about a broken belt, lucky catches with missing teeth etc.

Does the 944 chew up belts? Are they at so high a tension that they are susceptible to breakage?

I have had 2 e30 BMW's with interference engines and you just don't see the same level of Timing belt paranoia
