I just read an article about useability; it seems that 5 user opinions are 
enough to get sufficiently precise feedback. 

Ok I try to be a normal user:
The 'apply' button is disturbing if you haven't followed the historical 
development. I think the best solution is to apply changes straight away as 
Marcel suggest. Maybe after each keystroke is a bit busy but update every 
second should be fine.
