I think this is an important observation. The time where you "wait", you can allow your mind to drift off right after being immersed in the problem. In my experience, this time has the potential to give you great insights.
I think fast feedback is great, but only if you know what you're trying to accomplish. Or trying to learn. Don't use it as a tool to throw stuff against the wall and see what sticks. Once you start to do that, spend some time away from the computer. Draw a picture, formulate some hypothesis based on your mental model.
Make a map before you enter the jungle of trial-and-error.
