If I'm making two posts in ~5 minutes, it's faster -- if I make three posts a day (say, one in the morning before work, one at lunch, one at night) then even though I only ever come from two IP addresses it still spends ages checking every time (frequently stalling entirely:-/ )
Except that they could, oh, I don't know... do it asynchronously! For example, the site could start the check as soon as you start editing, or in the background after the first preview.
+1 I've never experienced this on any other site - I constantly think Firefox has frozen or crashed because closing a Slashdot tab causes the browser to become unresponsive for several seconds - I can't believe this sort of fault (presumably caused by dodgy bloated car-crash Javascript) is even allowed by the browser!
Oh, and congrats to the Slashdot coders for getting OPENING LINKS in comments working again after about half a year.

Why do they care if it's a proxy when I'm logged in?

also, when i click 'close' on a tab, it should close immediately, not muck around for a second or two.
