except that commits often happen after all the changes happen - meaning
that they don't interfere with updating of the UI. So while the net time
on the clock might be the same from the beginning to the end of a given
set of tasks, the perceived time might be much quicker if the commit
happens later.
But that's what I meant by "on the critical path". Something that happens
while the user is waiting for it is on the critical path.
