Well, yes they can. But Andrew's point still stands. How can one make a well-balanced decision when you're tagging or deleting stuff every 20-30 seconds? It usually takes me at least 2 minutes to read the entry, watch the history and do other related stuff and that's just on a short article. Also, the reasons given in the reason field by some administrators is totally not as helpful as it should be.

20 seconds is actually quite a bit of time if you take into account some types of speedies (broken redirects, redirects to user pages, talk pages without articles, some completely NN band articles, total nonsense, etc.) An average of one delete every 20-30 seconds, over the course of an hour and working from the usually-backlogged CSD page, doesn't seem unreasonable to me.
