If done manually must take more time surely.

Interesting point, Brian. I don't know whether there's an authoritative view, but this from a blog Google found for me:

Quote:
AV is marginally slower to count than FPTP, but not significantly more difficult. For an election with 4-5 credible candidates, in the worst case, an AV election will probably take around twice as long to count as an FPTP election.

(Emphasis added)

So I guess AV would produce fewer overnight declarations, which is a (little) bit of an argument against it, I suppose.
