Good idea. For any other time besides pre and post (and for pre you don't want too fast an absorption depending on how long before your workout) the slower the better. This is why I tell people it's a mistake to use isolates as their main whey. There are many different opinions on advantages and disadvantages, but in general, your body regulates blood amino acid levels and the quicker aminos enter the bloodstream the faster they are catabolised or "oxidised". This is why in studys, whey has been found to result in a negative net leucine balance.
This is one big reason why we are told to eat a SOLID meal 45 minutes to an hour after the post shake. If you don't, that temporary anabolic condition you've made could backfire on you and turn into a catabolic one. But since you were probably not in a fasted state to begin with even this is not guaranteed by one study.
You can read all sorts of different info on this but let me be clear on my opinion. Other than when you want fast absorption for a reason, the only real and known advantage of whey is simply convenience for pumping up your protein levels. Faster absorbing is NOT an advantage in general "eating" whether it be whey or anything else. I'm not saying it is really a disadvantage either since most bodybuilders are eating so often and aminos are probably entering the blood stream in a slow tricle all day. But when manufactures tout fast absorption as being "anabolic" they are getting over on you.
