Thank you for the responses. My concern isn't with real life applications (i.e. purchasing something from a store). I understand 0 confirmations is okay.

There has just been a number of instances lately online where it has taken me upwards of 30 minutes to an hour to get a single confirmation. Not to mention the services I use require at least 3 confirmations (exchanges) -- it can get annoying.

The worst part is I send this with a $0.06 fee. You think it would receive some kind of priority.
