Out of curiosity. If I sent you say 100K sats, and you don’t have the liquidity. What happens?

The Olympus LSP node should open a zero-conf channel to accommodate the payment.

Even if a channel is already open? Excuse my ignorance. I don’t know what zero-conf means.

Only if it can’t find a route to you

So that is the slight delay. Finding the route?

So in theory more channels, faster speed?

Not necessarily. You want a more direct channel.

Yeah and zero-conf means the channel will go active before the onchain transaction hits it's first confirmation so you don't have to wait forever for the payment to go through.
