I know of at least 2 clubs who have a Hobbs controlled by a pressure switch connected to the pitot system fitted to their aeroplanes. This arrangement provides an accurate record of flight time.

One of the clubs adds a little (fixed amount) for taxi time.

Either way there is no incentive to rush checks - it costs the same whether you take 5 or 25 minutes between startup and take off.
