I doubt Killua/Gon delayed Kite for a whole day. They took out the centipede and wasp-lady easily enough. Sure, Kite took his down quickly, but they didn't delay him that long. The fight against Lion's henchmen also lasted.. 30mins max? Rammot's fight was also short-lived.

I agree with Splash that Rammot's case didn't make things any worse for Kite, really.. but it does mean that the entire ant army now knows they can potentially have Nen powers (instead of believing that Pitou was just strong because of devoured-humans/royalty). Pitou perhaps learned some applications of his Nen as well before he started fighting for all we know.

Yeah, I was wondering why they weren't dashing full speed. I'm used to running-arms-dragging-behind-you-Naruto-style when someone says they need to rush. I'll chalk it up to not dashing into enemy territory/traps, since that's the best explanation. "They were sight-seeing" hardly cuts it.
