Just find out what you do as a default on 99% of your images. This should be 90% of what's in your basic and curves panel. Make a preset for that. Then, design a preset for the different light situations. (sun, shade, tungsten, etc.) This will be mainly any color adjustments, calibration presets and WB. Adjust WB in chunks based on alike images shot in the same situation. That's about how simple you're going to get. This is how I do it. Once all that's done, THEN I go through each image and "tweak", straighten and crop. On average, I spend about a 30 seconds to a minute on delivered images maximum. Again, that's an average, and includes exporting, etc.. I very rarely have to stop and clone.
I did all the Paddy stuff for about a year, but ultimately found I was faster with presets, and without trying to handle each image individually through Paddy. Sure, I could go back to using Paddy for the "tweak" part, but it's just as fast to leave your mouse over the basic panel, adjust what you need and do the rest with your left hand on the keyboard.
