Right.

It happens quite often to me. Believe it or not, I tend to think a
lot when I type in Emacs ;-) 30 sec is not such a long period for
thinking about your next word or phrase or implementation detail.

How many frames and how many buffers do you typically have in a
session?

No argument here.

This kind of advice generally belongs in the manual, not in the doc
string, IMO.
