<fwiw role="general">
What takes longer to come to boil in a microwave oven:
- a cup of water heated for 1 minute and 10 seconds, or
- a cup of water heated for 1 minute and 11 seconds
?

If there was no user interaction the answer is easy, but since we are
dealing with an interface that humans must deal with the correct answer is
0:01:11. This is because it is faster/easier for the user to hit the "1"
button three times rather than for them to search for the "0".
</fwiw>

My point being, if the interface slows the user down then the optimaztions
are useless.

best,
