It's only a few seconds and I'd like to see if we could change this to not show unless more than 3 or 4 seconds have passed. If this is a trivial patch, I'd try to get it into 9.
- Rob: partials take longer than completes. Completes are very quick.
- Need to understand what is a long time. Have a concern about a slow piece of hardware as well. Pull in Limi to find out how long is too long.
- Telemetry doesn't apply as this is outside of the application.
