If you are a man and a feckless labourer, machines are quicker. If there's 2-3 of you that can spread each with the strength to hoof 2-3 bags up the scaffold ladder at once then a machine can be slower, sometimes by quite a bit.
IMO.
2 machines and competent 3 guys can be a thing of beauty tho, I'll give you that.

Spraying is easier but there is more mess with the scraping on domestics than site regardless of whether you spray or handball.
On domestic it's the cleaning up of the dust that can take the time.
We sheet along the Scaff at bottom but if you've got a breeze/wind it will blow it everywhere and you have a fine dust to clean.
I get the lab to bag up all the dust as we go which helps.
I think I'm gonna invest in more sheets to sheet out even more.
I'm still learning with the sprayer but once I can spray nice and even then the ruling off will be less and the scraping will be less. Domestics the walls are always pissed so I find we scrape more off to get the final finish flatter.
When I'm cleaning the machine I always leave the hoses on until the hoppers clean then give it s final blast through as its not dirty water.
You'll pick things up as you go just like when you first start with the trowel.
I'm sure the likes of @Keith have it down to a tee with the many years he's been using it.

Mono on domestic is a pain the arse, as said it's the dust with a breeze 
.
You pick stuff up over the years and get into a process, hate domestic rendering and fortunately don't do much these days.I'm plonking mono on some new build plots at the moment with our deisel pump, no masking up needed no sheeting, we can get it right up to the plots, it's heaven.but Had some over spray on some stone coins recently that some subbies blathered in over spray, it took me nearly a day to get off.
Rendering eh, it's money for old rope.....

Had a fking nightmare like op lol. Turned my air on when I hadn't opened the material valve and left it running trying to work out why nothing was coming out and caused a massive blockage. After I cleaned it out and started again the machine just wouldn't work right, stuff was coming out like piss. New r and s and mixing shaft for me tomorrow.

11m2 with 2 coats which is across and up and down when sprayed but can do one thicker coat and get a nice finish
