i find that just setting the screen saver to kick in after 5 minutes - 
with "require password" to clear the password to be safest...

it seems to be the fastest way to get in and out...

and in fact i have my machine set so that if i stick my mouse in the 
upper right-hand corner the screen saver comes on immediately...

this way if i KNOW that i am going to walk away from the machine - i 
just throw the cursor up there - and bang!  i'm protected...

then when i come back i just start typing in my password and press 
enter...  no need for extra clicks...

and zero clicks needed to activate the protection...
