Kings Indian Attack as white and the PIRC and Kings Indian as black and you're all set. It's basically the same setup so why play anything else? I read about it in Winning chess openings. By Yasser Seirawan. I'm good for life. Now I just need to get good and take over the world. Try it out.

I am leaning towards knowing your first move based on your opponent's first move. After that any system causes you to stop having a reason for what you do.
Then you have to start thinking after you run out of opening.
On the clock? Sure memorized opening saves time. A place like this? No time advantage.

It also doesn't tend to show common mistakes the pressured side may make, because masters are not going to play those moves.
