If you're just out for a short ride, not a longer one with cafe stop, how often, if at all, do you stop?
I probably stop once or twice either at the top of a hill, to drink some water and admire the view or just somewhere nice to drink it all in (the atmosphere that is), which you can't do when you're going along helter skelter.
I don't normally stop for more than a minute and then I'm off again. On longer rides, I'd stop more and maybe actually get off the bike, not in winter though.
