On the subject of diff efficiency, which button is more
expensive, Show Preview or Show Changes? I have an ultraparanoid
bot which "presses" one or both before actually submitting, and
it occurs to me that it would be marginally easier on the servers
if the bot used the cheaper one first. (Though of course only
if substantial numbers of its doublechecks failed, which they
typically don't.)
