As a scorekeeper, I can tell you that just about all the time you spend waiting for the scores is time spent gathering penalties from the referees and making the (rare) adjustments to lap counts. When I press the button to commit the scores they can be on the screen just about immediately. The only choice will be whether the announcer does the penalties before or after display. There really is no other time when the audience should be waiting because entering the penalty count is the last thing we do to finalize the score.
