Considering good split times are 0.25sec I would say your math is a bit off, though the point of taking just a bit more time to make solid hit is generally worth it. Though I would rather take a fast -1 than a slow zero on most days.
In say idpa, the zero down is an 8" circle. At 15y, I would be happy with 2 hits @ -1 each in 1.5 sec than 2 zero down in 4sec. I save 1/2 sec per target x 8 targets a stage, I shot the stage 4sec faster. With 10 stages a match, I am 40sec faster over all. Speed & accuracy is always a balance.
