I wouldn't own a camera with a built in flash that decided for itself
when it should be used...

Never used it. I was thinking of the flash that's built in to the camera,
where it needs some time to physically pop up and then do whatever else it
does.

Some flash systems do a pre-fire for metering purposes, but many
(most?) will meter during the exposure and will cut off the flash
when enough light has been received so there will be no slowdown. It
works basically the same way as the LX's OTF metering, only it takes
about 1/10,000th of a second.
