Ah, got it
In reference to Scott's observations, though -- and I don't have IE on this box, so haven't seen the new interface yet -- even if the new version is better, if it looks like it's not doing anything it could be perceived as worse.
I've seen pages that used javascript to do things faster than hitting the server. The total time to complete the activity was shorter, but because the cursor didn't change to the hourglass people thought there was a delay before anything started happening. We used javascript to change the cursor shape to the hourglass and the perception completely changed.
