if you get the creep out then it is out for good?
There's a joke in there somewhere....I just can't find it.
Creep has a logarithmic relationship with time and loading. For all practical purposes, after a certain period of time, it does effectively go away when considering steel or synthetic rigging. You will be plagued with a good bit of creep early in the life of the rigging. It will not be of much concern some time later. Steel creeps much less than synthetic rigging but it does creep and stop.
Creep (particularly in steel structures) can be beneficial by allowing highly localized (pin point) pressure areas to "creep" and deform slightly, without failure, to help distribute the high loading over a larger area.
