Hey John, it's not just that its quicker. It is also that different people can engage with the task. It's hard to contribute if you have a few minutes through the tasking manager. But you can through MapSwipe. It's also near impossible to contribute via mobile or on the go. Again MapSwipe makes this possible.
Even if it was as quick to do the scanning through JOSM, we are able to get a whole new group of people involved in the workflow.
