The problem is that asterisk does not know if it needs to wait for 
additional digits so is waiting for a timeout. When someone dials 3, are 
they done or could they also dial 30 or 301?

The way to get rid of this wait is to make sure any other numbers in 
this context begin with a different digit.

Only have
1 <option 1>
2 <option 2>
3 <option 3>

and not additional lines like
301  <extension 301>

Extensions in the same context would begin with a 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
