Game Mechanics: Spells scribing and memming too fast?

[douglas1999]

I distinctly remember in classic that when you created a new character and sat down to scribe and mem your first two spells, it took FOREVER to do both. I just made a shaman on blue and it took about a second to scribe both spells and about five seconds to mem them, as a newly-created character.

Is this something that just simply can't be changed, or are the devs not aware of it? Other people remember this right?
