Actually, he does have some control over the timing of the review process. Inevitably, he will be asked at least once (more likely twice or even three times) to make revisions. The first round for this paper will a good deal of work. You'd think that the quicker the revisions are done, the quicker the review process will be, but it's not quite so simple. If the revisions are rushed or not adequate, the paper will go out for review a second time, which adds a lot of time to the publication schedule.

Taking a little more care with the revisions might cost some extra time now, but it pays off in the long run (hopefully turning it into a short run).
