Are reviewers impressed by a quick response to a request to revise and resubmit? My colleagues believe that if you submit your manuscript revisions quickly,  reviewers will be impressed by your confidence about the issues raised. 

However, I think that a quick response  is not always the best option. If you consult with other people, you may submit better revisions which of course requires more time.


Are there any benefits in responding quickly to a request to revise and resubmit a manuscript?

Opinions might differ, but here is mine: as a regular reviewer for a bunch of journals, what impresses me is a resubmission that addresses whatever points I raise in my review in a thorough and convincing way, irrespective of whether the authors take one week or six months to write it up. The more seriously you take my review, the more seriously I will take your resubmission.
