A slow dealer down (30 mins) is 15 hands, fast around 22. Maybe its 38ish hands an hour if you wanna be nitty about it hehe.
A minute of thinking is, like, forever. I know people write up hand histories where they say "villain tanks for 5 minutes", but if it was actually timed, my guess is that it is rarely longer than a minute. I just tanked while writing this for a minute (try it yourself); it's an eternity, I doubt it happens too often to be an issue?
And isn't it less about dealers and more about players?
And if all the players and hands are moving super fast, aren't we probably sitting at the wrong table? I mean, lottsa these hands have to be limp/raise/take-it-down or limp/raise/cbet/take-it-down; doesn't sound like a good table.
38-40 hands / hour live seems insanely high, and if it really is this high, isn't a table change in order?
