We should be careful not to overstate the impatience of users too much. I've seen plenty of people wait many seconds for google maps to load on phones without giving up on the whole process. I also have an extremely slow machine were I routinely have to wait a long time (many seconds) for certain operations to complete. It's certainly not ideal, but I don't give up on those operations just because they take a little longer. I get used to it and figure out ways to deal. I'm not saying we shouldn't care about operations taking a noticeable amount of time, but I wouldn't state out-right that users will revolt and refuse to do something just because it takes more than a second. jamie.
