Is there anyway to speed up automations?

For example, in our design list sheet we have an automation set up to default the lighting designer column to N/A if you chose a drop down that states lighting is not needed. From the time you chose lighting is not needed, to the time that the designer column auto populates to N/A, is about 2-5 min. My team was hoping there was a way to get this to populate instantly. Also, once a job is marked complete, there's an automation to move that row to a "completed sheet", but that is also taking between 5-10 min or you need to exit out of the sheet and get back in. Any suggestions on how to speed that up?
