Responsiveness
Responsiveness is a principle from interaction design / HCI, saying that a system's response to user input should happen with no perceivable delay. Responsiveness is considered a vital requirement for any user interface, and the lack of it will usually result in frustration.Other operations that take longer time should be kept in the background, giving highest priority to the user-relevant operations, such as typing, or onscreen buttons.If letting the user wait is inevitable, the system must at least show a progress bar to indicate it's busy, or something to make sure the user's command has been received and understood.
