In fact I am working on a slow machine (16Mhz 68020) over a heavily loaded  
network, so for me respect of the "server" time, not the 
client time, is more important to me (I am always
in a sort of "mouse-ahead" situation) than quick response... :-)
But I agree, delaying single-click actions is NOT a good solution (I own an
atari ST, I know what it means!)
