This is something that irks my father as we watch our favorite NCAA D-III team. They stop the clock for a first down and then start it before the chains, or sometimes even the ball is spotted.
His argument is that the clock is stopped for the purpose of moving the chains. If you don't want to wait until the chains are set, just change the rule to not stop the clock at all. Reading 3-3-2-e, it just says to start the clock on the referee's signal. It doesn't say that the ball should be ready for play, but I think most would assume it should be.
