I understand the argument that having the umpires get together between innings delays the game... I've had partners where you had to absolutely be rude to cut off the conversation when the teams were ready.
However, as a recommended mechanic, if that is the reasoning behind it, it is somewhat insulting. (Only "somewhat" since, as I said, it does apply sometimes.)
There are definite advantages to meeting between every inning, including the ability to discuss things without making it appear to be anything unusual or out of the ordinary.
I agree with WMB - if you are NOT meeting regularly between innings, then for sure do NOT get together right after anything controversial.
