Editing on slow data connection should fail gracefully

Description

The iOS app works a bit strangely on slow connections.

I went to [[User:Deskana/Countries/USA]], a page which is relatively short on wikitext but has quite a few images on it. I was on EDGE in a car that was being driven at 70 mph at the time, so my connection was very poor. When I clicked to edit a section, the app said it had loaded the section but no wikitext showed up. When I added some text and tried to save, it said there were no changes to save.

The app should fail more gracefully when it can't load sections very fast due to the data connection speed.

Version: iOS (alpha)
Severity: normal

The architecture of the app has changed so much, I think this particular case no longer applies.
