Abstract
The effects of System Response Time, SRT, on interactive graphical problem solving were investigated for fixed SRT's of 0.16, 0.72 and 1.49 seconds. The object was to demonstrate the importance or otherwise of even small SRT values for interactive graphical problem solving of a type which often occurs in Computer Aided Design. A SRT of 1.49 sec was found to degrade performance by about 50%, measured by problem solution time, compared with that found for 0.16 and 0.72 seconds.

Response time in man-computer conversational transactions
899 Citations1968Robert B. Miller
The literature concerning man-computer transactions abounds in controversy about the limits of "system response time" to a user's command or inquiry at a terminal, but two major semantic issues prohibit resolving this controversy.

The results support the somewhat surprising conclusion that doubling the display rate from 1200 to 2400 baud produces no significant performance or attitude changes; increasing the variability of the output display rate produces both significantly decreased user performance and a poorer attitude towards system and interactive environment.

Data showed that at longer delays the rate at which commands were given decreased, especially the rate of output commands, and that the problems were solved with fewer outputs in about the same time.
