I don't see why STP delay would be an issue; perhaps you are referring to ethernet traffic? With a Gig backbone my trunk utilization is under 2%. There is only one blocked link (top floor to basement). Regardless of approach, there will be a 30 second delay if you use backbonefast. Separate VLANs per floor would be be nice but redesigning the network isn't an option right now. They just went from public IP's to a single /16 network last year.
