My inclination would, if I were the C, to just add time if it amounted to anything. Stopping the game for a warning would take even more time (in which case, I'd probably add some for that too).
I do that when the team that is ahead near the end of the game has to chase the ball to get it for a kick but doesn't exactly hustle to get it back in play.

It makes a big difference how early the time wasting starts to. If it's halfway through the second half, you need to card it so that the other team understands it's being taken care of.
On the other hand, if it's in the last few minutes, a shout to put it in play along with a gesture to your watch can let everyone know they aren't getting away with it.
