Actually? An old iPad on WiFi that is stationed on the other side of several walls.

Honestly, a lot of people don’t mind waiting a second for actions to complete. (For some of us, it’s the only pause we get to take during the day.)

This really isn’t to say that software should be slow, but I think we should acknowledge that speed is not the sole value that users concern themselves with when using software. Many times it isn’t even a primary value.
