Gadolhadorah
Participant

As a matter of common courtesy and separate from the question of whether its a matter of “lchatchilah” versus “bdieved”, if one is aware that w/o his participation there is no longer a minyan, one should daven at a pace consistent with the other daveners, even if its a bit faster than his usual cadence. Likewise, I don’t recall ever seeing our chazan/shaliach tzibur (or gabbai who sometimes serves as a surrogate) , look towards the varbeshe section of the shul to be certain that most of the women daveners have completed the Amidah.
