How? In the case of the Pinchin St Torso we have a long gash running from neck into the vagina and stopping in the left thigh area. We have the intestines visible through a rather decent sized opening in the abdomen. But the killer left all the organs.
I don't see how taking the time to make such a long cut and then doing nothing with it speeds up the dismemberment.
There's also the issue that the legs from the Pinchin St Torso appear to have been removed far earlier than the neck was. This is stated in the autopsy by the drastic different in color (the cuts to the legs were dark and dry while the neck was red and fresh). This again doesn't point to a killer who was in a hurry.
