Ken, can it be that you're confusing the shutter release lag with EVF operation. With my Ricoh GXR and (manual focus) Leica M-module, everything is quite excellent in this regard. Both the viewfinder is very easy to use and focusing by b/w focus assist is easy. The shutter release is very fast, though it takes time between shots, which I gather is limitation of the rather aged body.
In other words, for people with weaker eyes, EVF can be actually preferable as it: 1. Ensures relatively uniform brightness despite different lighting conditions "outside", which IMO is a good thing. 2. With proper implementation, focus assist is easier than squinting through OVF even with special screens, and as you might know - I've tried quite a few of them.
