There would be no wave, those playing 18 holes would have teetimes all day every 8 minutes on Destin in my example below and all those playing 9 holes would have teetimes every 8 minutes on Ft. Walton. The current wave system does not promote faster play.

The problem or should i say the challenge is how to maximize the 27 hole layout on most of the courses. If you only have 18 holes it is simple as you use #1 for 18 hole times and #10 for 9 hole rounds for two hours. After that everything is straight forward.
With 27 holes the Wave is the most efficient way to get the maximum number of golfers through in the course of the day. The hazard of the wave, as you previously stated, it is dependent upon a normal pace of play. Anything slower or faster brings out conflict.
The wave is to facilitate maximum number of players.
