From my observations over the years, I think about 5% of officials have a "fast" count (meaning at least 2 seconds shorter), and about 35% of officials have a "slow" count (meaning at least 2 seconds longer), and the rest are right in the middle.

We have one local official with a reputation for quick-counting in the backcourt (to the tune of about 6-7 seconds instead of 10), and nearly every game I've observed the coaches will remind him throughout the game.

In my experience, about 90% are slow, most 20-30% slow but some so slow that they're on a pace to actually get close to 20 seconds. I've rarely seen anyone too fast.
