[Avodah] Shlichei tzibbur, davening speed, and halacha

[Richard Wolberg]

To R' Avram Sacks:
You ask a very important question which I'm sure does not only apply  
to you.

I have the opposite problem.
As a shaliach tzibbur, I daven at a fairly rapid pace which satisfies  
all but one, who is one of the prominent members.
Because of him, I have to wait for him to finish, before I conclude  
each tefilla.
This is a source of tircha for the rest of the tzibbur, but they all  
understand why I do it.
Fortunately, he does not attend every service, but when he does, it  
takes an extra 10 or more minutes, which as you say,
can be significant on a weekday.

I would suggest that you articulate your concerns to the tzibbur at  
some auspicious time in the very near future.
Let them be the ones to tell you that it is either o.k. or to suggest  
another option that would be agreeable to all.
