Time is money, or are you going to waste it?

I watched a stream and saw something interesting there.
At the beginning, there's a vantage point just a few steps away, visible right from the start.
Turn: Timer at 10:00.
A hero is purchased and takes a couple of steps towards the vantage point.
Then, there's almost FIVE minutes of frantic map scrolling!
The second hero runs to the left side at 5:14.
The third hero runs in another direction at 4:01.
The fourth hero appears by the three-minute mark. In one turn, besides two groups taken by the first hero, nothing else was acquired. The moves of all four heroes were in straight lines in different directions. Question: Do you need 10 minutes for the game or for slow thinking?
