In all fairness, this is probably a consequence of RFA's culture of "must use 100 percent edit summaries before passing"! People quite often write entirely useless edit summaries, aided by the prompt in Preferences, simply to pass RFA. I know I did. Post RFA, however, I realized that updating articles with edit summaries such as "+info" is beyond banal, so I turned the damn prompt off. Now most of my real contributions are without edit summaries. This is, I think, a good thing. Tasting the forbidden fruit labelled "No edit summary" keeps Wikipedia exciting.
Hehehe. You know, I made a subconscious decision at one point, that if it took more time to think of a decent summary than to make the actual edit, it was a step worth skipping.
Oddly, it takes me about 2s to make some pretty big ESUs ;-) because I keep my form history, almost every ESU can be filled in by me hitting 'g' for 'grammar' or 's' for spelling, and then clicking one of the 20 options that it pops up as suggestions for filling the form with ;-)
