This is probably what I'm thinking of, I'm doing it for that exact reason - deadlines. I downloaded the trial of PM but it was while I was in school and too busy to learn another program. I'll have to see if I can do the trial again since I only opened it once.
Now is it as simple as locking the photo in camera or is there more to it?
Yes, it is that simple ... you can set PM to only import the "flagged" or locked images. Check out Scot Kelby's blog for a typical PM/Lr workflow using this method ... though you can accomplish the same result working with a single $80 app in Aperture 3 vs employing two $150 apps ... though Aperture only works on Apple hardware.

The big speed increase here is two-fold. One, you can cut down time by only importing a select sub-set of images. Two, PM (and Aperture) can be set to use the camera generated jpeg previews for very speedy rendering to choose selects. Conversely, Lightroom can not recognize your "flags" and insists upon generating it's own previews.
On the second issue, it's not wrong for Lr to render it's own previews, just very time consuming for a task that could be done later or only when the actual RAW processing itself would take place. The first issue could be solved, quite easily, since other apps have had this capability for many years. Lr lacks these two abilities simply because Adobe has chosen not to add or implement them. All this after repeated requests for these features dating back to the very first public beta testing of v1.0.
