IFS - American R/T easy to understand, well mostly but a more efficient use of time??? NO WAY!
If you mean for the ATCO's chatting about their new SUV's over the airwaves whilst at work maybe!! Otherwise give me a break!! Listen out at Heathrow once and you won't hold that view any more...
Anyway I certainly don't mean to yank bash - I love flying there - but time efficiency isn't something I find in their R/T unless you mean replying 'copied' to a long and complicated clearance which is a time efficiency air safety could well do without...
That book Code Blue recommends is indeed will worth a look, find it at

Happy flying
Happy Xmas (Happy holiday for the PC efficient yanks
)
Happy New Year
PS 'Day-see-mal' for me most of the time, I'm trying to make it all of time but the flesh is weak...
