> This reminds me of a weird phenomenon I've observed where users seem to have a better opinion of "slower" software. If certain, ostensibly complex operations like generating an output or saving a record take longer in one application than another, the first app is assumed to be "doing more" or "creating better results". I'd speculate that this has more to do with a lack of feedback in the UI than anything.
