Comment (by kadamwhite):

 I recently read an article (dangerous words, I know) that noted a
 situation where people perceived an interaction as *slower* after the
 addition of a spinner, even if the load time actually stayed the same or
 decreased [citation needed, I can look for it if desired]. The solution
 proposed was to only display the spinner after about 200ms, to give the
 action time to complete "invisibly" without drawing attention to the fact
 a request was being made. Now, adding that type of timeout increases
 complexity without any demonstrated rewards, so I don't think it's worth
 going down that path—Mainly bringing it up here because it is tangentially
 relevant and psychologically interesting, and I apparently like hearing
 the sound of my fingers on the keyboard.
