I always had the quickest out-of-shower into-clothes turnover rate in the locker room at Davidson after practice.  This I achieved by wearing sandals often, never tying my shoes, never accessorizing, and, most importantly, effecting the slight towel dry-off (all things I have done most of my life and still do, I don't even tie my running shoes (fat feet)).  I'm not saying a quick turnover rate is better or even preferable - that depends on the person.  The constant result, however, led me to the following recommendation:  At least try the slight towel dry-off.

Most people towel and dry the living fuck out of themselves after showering.  Why?  Jesus, let evaporation do some of the work.  1) Lightly dry hair 2) ONE towel stroke down each leg 3) ONE towel stroke up back (accomplished by whipping towel around shoulders like a cape) 4) ONE towel stroke down each arm.  That's all.  Do your other areas how you will I guess; I'll just say I don't do much.  If you have done it right, you'll still be a little wet and even get a little water on your clothes.  A pleasant treat! Over the next ten or fifteen minutes you'll enjoy the transience of light liquid evaporation on your skin.
