Instant posting is realistic with optimistic UI and a fast-path submit. Render the reply immediately in the client as pending, then confirm on the server; if failure, roll back gracefully. Profile the slow paths, set a performance budget, and show a tiny, unobtrusive progress indicator. Let users stay productive while we fix the bottlenecks.
