We suggest that the slow,
scale-invariant coarsening regime in faceting kinetics is governed
by long-tailed algebraic distributions of kink-antikink reorganization
times. This makes the problem similar to dispersive charge transport
in disordered materials. A qualitative explanation is given for the low
experimental value of the dynamic exponent 
describing the growth of groove width.
