LOL I'm such a geek. I just cobbled together a Python script to follow any hashtags or tweeters I want using the streaming interface. The Twitter streaming API is a very fast (low latency) interface and gets tweets instantly.
The stock Twitter interface has considerable delay when new tweets are posted. My script gets them within milliseconds of posting.
