Yes three is absolutely a toggle switch. C# and F# are mostly tolerant of this style of programming. But if you like writing "while" and "for" loops then the eager execution can really hurt. Also, if you do a lot of CPU or net intensive stuff then it's also a good time to turn "auto run" off.
I haven't bought it yet, but can you turn this off? I'm curious about battery usage statistics with and without this feature. One of my favorite aspects of my iPad is its battery life. If this significantly reduces it, I'd be quite sad.
(Though I do suppose the battery drain would depend on the frequency of changes and size of your codebase.)
