It is far more efficient to slow down and send everything once, than send
bits and pieces multiple times."

Personally, I feel that any S/P station should try to match the CQing 
station's speed. I program a separate macro, for when I'm CQing, just for 
those "machine gun" stations that call!
It contains the exchange, followed by PSE QRS. Copying a call sign, at 
"machine gun" speed, is one thing...copying an exchange, such as is required 
for SS, is another. I only had one station fail to honor my "PSE QRS' 
request, and they showed up, later on, at a slower speed, and we completed a 
contact. I only had one goal, for SS....work DE, for ARRL Triple 
Play...mission accomplished, thanks to WW3DE.
