Traction Delay ?!?

Could anyone clear this up? How quickly should the traction control cut in. I have found that when driving in the wet and the car's back end slides out the traction control does take time to activate and therefore the car has slipped a couple of feet. Is this usual or should the traction control be almost instant.

Traction control waits until you have had a little fun (scare?) before stepping in and calling a halt to the festivities.

A good design by mazda for a sports car!

Much like a tolerant parent who lets their kids see the results of their actions, rather than just not letting the kid get in trouble in the 1st place. Isn't that nice? :D
