Make It Fast

A simple and responsive interface is more appealing than an attractive yet sluggish interface. An application should always be ready for user input and prepared to offer immediate feedback. Ideally, results should quickly follow the user's actions.

Where immediate results are not possible, run lengthy operations in separate threads if practical. This technique has the advantage of at least simulating speed by returning control quickly to the user.
