Why do you care about average quality? You're hiring a specific person. These kind of things should be rule-in, not rule-out. You also cannot tell the difference between resume spam and a potential candidate until you read the resume. 400 resumes @ 1min per (Which is generous) is ~7hrs. 400 resumes @ 10sec per is only ~1hr.
