Post title: Speed and ease of use

Speed and ease of use, and these two things often go hand in hand. I don't want to have to wait 5 seconds for search results to start appearing, or wait half a second for fuzzy matches to appear. And when I move to the next segment, the cursor must be there immediately, and in a predictable location in the segment. I translate and review fast -- I can't abide systems that require me to waste precious fractions of a second.
