Well, it says that *exactly* - you should receive comments within a
week. In your case, you got some of them even earlier.

Think of it this way: one week is more or less ok period when reviewers
have time to go through a patchset and give their comments. Keep in mind
that maintainers/reviewers get other patchsets to review too and they
can't always react immediately. In *addition* to the other crap they
have on their plate.

So patience is a good idea here :)

Thx.
