If I finish before time is up, and I'm sure I'm not going to want to look back at the book I'll go ahead and return it. Sometimes I read quickly but then over the next day or so I want to go back and reread some part of the book more thoroughly so I don't always return immediately after the initial read through.

If I put a book on hold I assume that all the people ahead of me are going to use the longest possible checkout time. This doesn't bother me. If I don't want (or can't afford) to buy a book for instant gratification then I view a long wait period as an acceptable alternative.
