As a music producer, I do my best to make sure my mixes are under or right at 2:30. Sometimes the coaches are asking for WAY more 8 counts than normal, so either you speed the whole mix up, or you speed up running tumbling and dance to the point of rediculousness. Or if the team can't handle a fast mix, the only alternative is to remove an 8 count (that usually goes over like a ton of bricks). But keep in mind that there are also coaches who ask to just leave it a little longer because they rely on the 1-2 second reaction time to start a timer.
Worlds routines are totally maxed out: they are as fast as possible without heart attack, jammed with as many 8 counts as possible, and often include the 1-2 second reaction time.
Yes we hold some responsibility, but there is also a choreographer responsibility to keep it reasonable, a coach responsibility to comply, and an event producer responsibility to enforce the rule. The blame cannot soley be placed on music producers.
