Back in the day in the sim, it was all about how quickly you could perform the manoeuvre. Today the training is more focussed on not making things any worse than they are, e.g. coming too close to another aircraft or the ground. Yes, you don’t want to hang about for too long up there but if you have done item one on the checklist: put your oxygen mask on, there is now time to assess the situation. If you know there’s aircraft below you, the MSA is significant and there might be an escape route, these are actually the greatest threats if not taken due account of.
