It's worth noting that the only applicable reason from that page for
not making it instant apply is that it took longer than a second. 
It's worth noting that several have commented in
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327335 saying that we should
look at making it faster, since it's close to a second (and for
several people is faster than a second) anyway.  For those of us for
whom it is faster than a second, this change is a HIG violation
AFAICT.
