I agree with you, it does ruin the flow and the reading experience. But what ruins it even more is if you don't know what you're reading about.
And for me the lookup IS instantaneous, but I'm using only one dictionary.

But I have never had any problems with not finding a world because the exact form of the word was not in the dictionary but that might depend on the dictionary.

You misunderstood that part. I also don't have a problem with not finding words, because when I see such a word (past or continuous tense of a verb or some adverb or words with suffixes) I don't use the lookup function on them knowing I would get no hits.
