If I'm the BJ (5 man), I'm gonna make sure there are no egregious consumptions of time. As nvoa said, a good pace is everything. If they start to slow down a little, I'll give the R a little 'winding' finger and point to the offense and he'll tell the QB to get going a little faster.
In the last 2 minutes or so of each half, the entire stadium is looking at the clock, so it's going to be by the book there. If the R is facing the game clock, he takes it. If the BJ is, he takes it. In my pre-game, I tell everyone to be a clock watcher near the end of halves. It never fails that something kooky happens, and if at least one set of eyes is spying the game clock, crises are averted.
Back to the original question, if I'm the R and they're slow I'll tell the QB discreetly the get in and out of the huddle with a little more urgency. QB's who have to run over to get a play each time are always behind the 8 ball so I may say "15 seconds" to them as they pass me so they know to haul ***.
