I wouldn't say that Homer takes any longer now he is used to it than anyone else. In the first instance I think it did take a little longer but I guess that is to be expected.
My own opinion, having seen it used but never used it, is it all looks like a bit too scientific and calculated for my liking and is still open to a little bit of human error and guess work but even if the result is your second putt is a tap in that has to be a good thing. My own method of reading greens isn't too dissimilar in theory to the aimpoint approach, but with more feel and no books. I understand the theory and have no doubt it works, but I know that I personally couldn't be bothered with the charts.
The biggest thing I think it has done for Homer is to teach him that putts break more than he had previously allowed himself to think. In the beginning I heard him question the information given to him on more than one occasion but he now seems to trust it and go with it. I don't know whether he holes more putts but I am sure he gets it rolling on a better line than he did before.
