Depends on how long it takes. More than half an hour on a fast connection |
| 11 |
would certainly be quite long. If it gets into 4 hours or more, it becomes a |
| 12 |
real anoyance. |

I know, I should probably have mentioned it. But the proper concurrency |
| 25 |
support comes at a price. To make a proper decision, we need to know how big |
| 26 |
the price is. A theoretically perfect solution may very well be practically |
| 27 |
impossible. At that point it shows that the theory overlooked certain issues |
| 28 |
that users care about. |
