Re: UI / reaction time - was: Re: 23 branch - can't push - lock

User testing continues to suggest that human reactions work very roughly on 
decimal seconds -- .1 seconds is `instant', 1 second is `fast', and 10 seconds 
is `slow'.  There are obvious outliers, but this guideline survived from (at 
least) the early Apple UI tests through ~2001, when I stopped paying attention 
-- but I'll be surprised if it's changed much.

To the point, bazaar/git continues to be much faster than git/bazaar for some 
operations and much slower for others.  Neither is fast at all of the 
`important' operations for all developers, and the architecture of each 
suggests that these things are unlikely to change (although we can hope for 
improvements to both, over time).

Hope that helps,
