Do you wait or do you respond immediately just to check it off your to-do list?

Instantly text them back. You can expect that from me for sure. I'll give them pointers on how much time I need to make a concrete decision.

My texts will usually be slow, as I enjoy my day and do whatever it is I am doing, and fit them in someplace, until I stop replying all together for the day.

If something very distracting is going on I wait, otherwise I reply.

It depends on the subject matter and the person. A combination of the two.

If it's just chit chat and I'm not very much into the person, I could text back a few hours later.
If it's an important matter/person I'm interested in, immediately.

I once dated someone who would literally reply 10 seconds after their received my texts. ALL the time. I thought "Great, he's into me". Not so fast little dolphin! When he didn't get sex on the 3rd date, I texted him after to thank him. He responded about an hour later. I tried texting him the following day, he never replied! He didn't even replied to the birthday greetings I sent him 3 days later.

You can definitely gauge someone's interested based on the text response speed.

It totally ruins my game in the dating scene. But it feels like torture to wait for an hour or even more to answer.

Depends on the who, what, why, where, and when of the text.

[but I usually respond within a few hours]
