Is it takes 5 hours for a peer to review a simple bugfix your operation is dysfunctional.

Its rare that devs are on standby, waiting for a pr to review. Usually they are working on their own pr, are in meetings, have focus time.

We talked a lot about the costs of context switches so its reasonable to finish your work before switching to the review.

People are busy, and small bugfixes are usually not that critical. If you make everyone drop everything to review everything, that is much more dysfunctional.
