User blog comment:Sarah Manley/New Editor Scheduled for Sitewide Release/@comment-188432-20110908232732

I just encountered something that's got to be a concern. I tried to get a preview of a longish forum page at w:c:tardis. I waited exactly a minute for it to show up. All I got was the little "progress" animation. At the 1m mark, I pressed "publish". It published within 10 seconds, having never shown me a preview, even for a fleeting instant. Does it take more resources to preview than publish?

It really shouldn't take so long that people are tempted to give up on the preview and just publish it without checking their work. I fear that the sloth of the preview, and the easy ability to change your mind and hit "publish" will lead to a lot of sloppy editing.
