GIB automatically leads to last trick for declarer and dummy even if you have "Autoplay singletons" option turned off.
This is bug is annoying and should be fixed.

If you really want to speed up the play, then the path is:
1. Make robots faster. If the server has not been restarted for some weeks, they used to "think" up to 10 seconds per move.
2. Allow "premove". That is playing the card effectively out-of-order. Currently you have to wait for both opponents to discard, if you cash your long suit.

Why is it annoying, did you want or need to think before playing a singleton or playing your last card?

I need to think afterwards. Why was the card played a fraction before I clicked? It is terrible UX if unexpected things happen. It never saves any time or any clicks for me, just the opposite. And adds annoyance if it happens.
