How much time does it take to do a post in Radio? Karl Martino says the 20 seconds that Movable Type takes is too much. GreyMatter takes eight. Now I'm going to measure the amount of time it takes before Radio comes back after I press the Post & Publish button.

Result: Less than 2 seconds. This is on a 1 gigahertz Pentium III running Windows 2000. It may not be a "fair" comparison because Radio is running on the machine I use, so there's no network latency, and I am not sharing the machine with any other users. But that's part of the reason why a desktop web app is better than a centralized one.
