Message-ID: <47462AE6-B918-48C5-8EB1-F90E6BF30399@mit.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CE8430C2-CBDB-402E-80E2-1F65F805FB8B@gmail.com>
User testing continues to suggest that human reactions work very roughly on decimal seconds -- .1 seconds is `instant', 1 second is `fast', and 10 seconds is `slow'. There are obvious outliers, but this guideline survived from (at least) the early Apple UI tests through ~2001, when I stopped paying attention -- but I'll be surprised if it's changed much.
To the point, bazaar/git continues to be much faster than git/bazaar for some operations and much slower for others. Neither is fast at all of the `important' operations for all developers, and the architecture of each suggests that these things are unlikely to change (although we can hope for improvements to both, over time).
Hope that helps,
*Chad
