To the original poster, yes I would agree "sometimes".

Lower handicappers, or at least myself and my dad and brother, tend to spend the walk/drive/whatever thinking about our next shot, get to our ball, practice swing if we want to, address, hit, go on etc. I would like to add though that we might hit more fairways/longer ball's but we still might get the same score cause we miss our putts, hit OB etc

! Bogey's, Double B's, and Octo's et al know no handicap index..............

However when I shot a heckuva lot higher I prided myself in playing with the pace of play dictated by my group and the group ahead. If I noticed I was dragging behind I picked up my ball, marked a "nought" symbol on my hole and walked to the next one/waited on green or with others etc.

I will also add that playing in junior team golf and in HS team's tends to make one efficient at "ready golf" since you and thus your team can get penalized for slow play.
