Ask HN: Should WYSIWYG editor run fast typesetter in parallel with quality one?

The fast typesetter would allow the editor to keep up with fast typing. The quality typesetter would run on another core. When its result is available, it would visually replace the result of the fast typesetter in the same window. Would this be a good way to resolve the efficiency vs quality tradeoff in WYSIWYG editors?
