I was one move away from checkmating this guy, and had premoved the queen to checkmate him. Unforuntately, premove takes time (WTF?) and I lost on time.

Puppy, why would you think that premove didn't involve any time?

Yeah, premove takes the least amount of time a move can take, but it still takes time.
