I try to do this and mostly succeed.

Now, possibly it's easier for me because I put less effort into my
reviews than other people. On the other hand, maybe it's better to give
a quick, slightly-less-good review than a very thorough review very
late. Well, that's my excuse :-).

No matter how much effort you put in, I don't think quick reviews can be
a lose in general. Delaying reviews creates opportunities for people to
forget things, for patches to rot, and for people to find and report
duplicate bugs.

Obviously there can be overriding tactical considerations like
super-high-priority emergencies, but those are exceptional.
