There have been one or more extensive threads here on who is generally favoured by fast or slow TC. It's not a straightforward issue. FWIW it seems to me that a world class player might gain more in MWC over a weak one from fast TC.

Chuck Bower already did some tests on dice rolling time. He made it 3.6s, I recall. I also did tests, and got 4.09s as an average, though I did use 4 shakes to his 3. Probably best to simply use a game clock, with a move counter; the time therefore starts (and ends) not from when the dice are touched, but from when the clock is hit. I used a board with no chequers, as it reduced the variance of cocked dice to (about) zero, and I could roll more freely. Chuck is a scientist btw, so his tests are more likely to have employed a scientific method than my own!
