When I report a foul, I generally walk around the players/lane to the nearer side of the foul reporting area. (in a college game, I only clear the players), the distance into the zone is based upon clearing the players, but it's usually a few feet away from the top of the arc.
I come to a complete stop.
My hand signals (Color, number, foul, direction usually take a full 5 seconds.
I then turn, and jog to my new position.
Can this be improved upon?
The reason I ask is that a couple refs (a non-clinic vet, and a non-clinic 4 year) said I was quite slow.
I just started walking to the table this year, purposefully.
