If I want to know something NOW ... well then I need to do my research now or I can't go on (if it is for some writing I am working on), but if it is something that can wait, then I'll do it, when I know I have enough time at hands. (And not to it at 2am in the morning, unless I have the next day off from work)

I guess the one time it really struck me how much more information you can drag to the surface when you use a different language was when I researched a part of the German/Dutch history for a story. I found out the keywords I should use in Dutch and once I searched with them I got buried under a ton of information, along with pictures and videos I haven't found anywhere else when I had tired it with English or German.
