Nobody is paying that much attention to you, or anyone besides themselves for that matter.
Aim to impress yourself.

IDK about impressive but it is most certainly relieving to not have to wait hours for a simple reply.

I have a 3 day turnaround but try to be quicker, not to impress anybody but to save unnecessary anxiety on the part of the students.

Surely it depends on what the email is about. If it's a professional matter you of course reply as quickly as possible, how can that possibly be annoying? email is simply a devise through which people communicate. If you had a conversation with a colleague in person, would you make them wait just to be impressive before you formed a verbal response? however if what you're referring to is email as a means of chatting someone up, then perhaps you might want to wait to think about feelings etc before giving a response. Like i said it all depends on what the subject of the email is.

Depends on the context of the email.
Personal or work.
Replying quickly to work emails generally gives a very good impression but can lead to be viewed as always available to reply on weekends & during holiday leave.
