Since I am pretty sure that I will get there first, regardless, I will not show up my partner... until I get to 15.

From observation, I think that most officials counts are even slower than you give them credit for. I see many approaching 2 seconds/chop with the typical being more like 1.5
When I call a 10 or 5 count, I often get comments of "wow that was fast". I've timed myself on counts and I can, at rest, usually be within 1 second over a full minute. I regularly check myself against the clock in games when the pressure permits and find my count a little slow in games...usually 6 seconds for a 5 count. If I'm perceived as fast and I measure slow, the others must be really slow.
