The best thing that the applicant can do to speed up prosecution is to accurately define the invention in the claims and for them to be grammatically correct. Also a tiny few cases get misclassified in the wrong art unit and bounce around the office until someone claims it (sometimes for years). Somehow giving the classifier a hint of where the app is to go (such as citing similar applications in the IDS) is a way to make sure that doesn’t happen.
