If I feel inspired by a plot/thread/situation then I can get replies done fairly quickly. I consider myself a slow writer (comparatively), and prefer to keep a limited number of threads going so I don't stretch myself too thin. Sometimes when there's events I can hoard threads, but I usually just write as I go.

I used to spit out instant replies like lightning. These days it varies.

I try to check posts but not reply until after work. If I have free time, I do my best to respond to a few of them at least each day. When I can tell I have more threads than I'm wrapping at the end of the day, I stop taking on new threads or try and wrap up my existing ones ASAP. This stops my hoard from ballooning too much.

I'm not great about following a set posting order -- I have a tendency to prioritize dramatic threads -- but I know muse for one thread will make it easier to write another. So I forgive myself that indulgence.

If I get pulled into rapidfiring a thread that I have a lot of muse for, sure, I'll ping-pong for awhile and chase that high. I used to feel guilty about this, but I have realized this is a hobby and I'm allowed to enjoy what I enjoy, so long as I intend to write for and finish the threads I take on.

i can reply extremely quickly at the moment because of how much free time i have and stuff, so generally i just reply to things as i get them. sometimes ill shift and respond to one thread as a prio/volley/i just want to write that char or thread even when i have other threads outstanding, but generally i don't let things sit for more than a few days. often what happens if i have a thread i want to reply to & i'm volleying with my partner is to do replies for other threads while waiting for my partner to toss me back a reply on that prio thread lmao

I can't hoard them, I have to post in the reply box to feel the site and I have to reply asap!
