I've tried it, and timed other refs, and 10 seconds has usually elapsed by the time the ref got to 6 or 7.
That said, when a player gets called for a time violation, he usually deserves it.
In our clinic this year, one of my observers told me that I was counting way to fast for the 10-second count. We also video our sessions (mostly to look at positioning). Well, we counted and my count was always right on or a hair slow.......... I looked at my observer and suggested that he needed to speed up his count!
