I find that by far the most time consuming part of surveying house numbers is
actually adding the data afterwards and for this reason I think we should be
trying to make the tagging quick and straightforward for mappers wherever
possible.
Which editor are you using?

I've always used JOSM.
Speaking to other mappers, they usually agree that data input for
addresses takes 2-3 times as long as the actual surveying. There are
various reasons for this, some specific to mapping where I live (England).
Why it takes a long time -
1. The usual problems of reconciling the surveyed data with existing
data and the aerial imagery.
2. Adding other detail at the same time. In particular, adding
buildings. It would be much quicker if I chose just to add nodes.
3. Adding postcodes to addresses. I do this whenever possible using
several different open data sources.
4. Working out how to best map complicated addresses where there is no
agreed 'correct' way: multiple addresses located within one building
being a common example.
Cheers,
Will
