When a server has to keep returning to your table because people are taking a long time to order, it eats into their timing and efficiency. Camping customers also drink more (like soda and water) which increases the trips for the server...

Customers who are slow to move the process along will sometimes get worse service because the server gets caught up in helping all their other tables...

Bingo. When I was a server my personal rule was if you were talking on your cell phone you didn't have your order taken.

I would imagine it's a timing thing as well. You try to turnover tables efficiently so you can get more folks seated with a lesser wait time. And the issues in the OP would likely frick with that.
