Sounds like you're running it with extremely outdated firmware, like 1.x or early 2.x

One of the firmware updates also improved the boot time quite a bit, as I recall. If that is a pain point, you definitely want to upgrade.

I know it might not be what you are looking for but, what about a "shorty" pen? It is a short-circuit finder with the circuitry integrated into a pen-like shape with one of the probes.

The fastest continuity DMM I have tested is the BM867s, followed by the 3461A. The Siglent SDM3045X-E is slower, but you can customize the threshold resistance to make it decently fast.
