Steve,
No doubt, but that problem doesn't go away with increased parallel
processing. If we're talking about, say, a 100 page MIB, where the
MIB doctors do provide excellent parallel processing, there is still
going to be the problem of the chosen reviewer cutting out a full
day to grind through the document - and quite possibly needing to
read other documents as well, to understand the first one.
If the IETF wants thorough technical review by people other than
a document's protagonists, it *will* cost queuing time, whether the
people making those reviews are called "AD" or something else.

I'm guessing that this sort of situation arises when you have less
familiarity with the work or the document is particularly troublesome. I
wonder if there's a way to identify this in advance and treat it
differently. Lumping the well prepared and easy to process documents
into the same bin as the ill prepared or difficult to process documents
could be hiding some important factors that might benefit from closer
analysis.

I'm not the best person to ask; my sample set is small.
It depends a lot on a document. I can often do a document in in two
hours if it is reasonably short and I understand the technology and
the document quality is good. I have one document languishing
somewhat in my queue because I need to block out an entire day for it
and finding a full day to work on one document is hard.
Keep in mind that AD review can easily have round trips with the
authors.
Also, as you are well aware, finding the time among all the other
things is difficult.
I would say that accomplishing AD reviews in a week of real time would
be doing good; two weeks would be fine. Some documents will take
longer.
