I wouldn't have, except I was already doing an eyeball pass in order to 
massage comments into summary + continuation form and lift references
like r3456 into [[SVN:3456]] so they could be automatically lifted to
action stamps.

The additional time overhead of fixing typos was very small.  It's something
I do rapidly and almost without conscious thought.
