A Feature Request for GMail's Undo Send

Screen_shot_2011-01-31_at_6

I've always been a fan of GMail's undo feature. I can't count the many times the feature has saved me from misspellings in an email, forgotten content and forgotten recipients. 

The other day i was sending something in an email to my friend who was sitting right next to me. Don't ask... My undo setting is maxed out to 30 seconds. We were both left staring at the screen as we got the message displayed in the screenshot. The waiting was excruciating. We didn't care about undoing anything in the email yet we were forced to wait for it to send.

Why is there no option next to 'Undo' and 'View message' for 'Just send it already!' ?
