sometimes I paste giant texts (think summarization) in the chatgpt (paid) webapp and I noticed that the CPU fans spin up for about 5 seconds after, as if the text is "processed" client side somehow. this is before hitting "submit" to send the prompt to the model.

I assumed it was maybe some tokenization going on client side, but now I realize maybe it's some proof of work related to prompt length?
