I think we should slow all entries to logged in users. (Eventually, this should really tie into ACL and only show entries the logged in user has view privileges on)
I used some rather complicated layouts and like being able to confirm that an entry doesn't garble anything _before_ I publish it. This includes the 'multiple' pages – where the potential for error is the greatest. So, I am in favor of keeping things how they are.
