Dakota,
Not allowing "time" for the batter doesn't mean you don't hold up the pitcher as you cannot have a pitch if the batter does not have both feet entirely with the batter's box. You just need to call a strike on the batter. If that doesn't get them in the box, wait 10 secs and do it again.
Harsh enforcement? Maybe, but that is why the rule is there.
