Dump the between round buy ins?

One of the constraints in scheduling matches at DCC is waiting for the round to close so losers (often myself! lol) have enough time to buy back in if we want. I ran some numbers on the 2008 results (it's all I have so far) and in all three events, between 55% to 60% of the field buys in at some point in the tournament. Really, how many of these buy ins are last minute decisions? If we required folks that wanted buy ins to purchase them before each event, we wouldn't need to wait for a round to completely close before starting the next one. Also, at the beginning of each event, the organizers would know EXACTLY how many matches there would be and the matches could be scheduled far more easily. How critical is it to have between round buy ins? Any thoughts are appreciated!
