Honestly exchanges are a shit show. There used to be a small scene where people traded directly via forums/voice comms but like all good things that's over because of bad actors.
The main issue IMO isn't settlement speed but the ludicrous exchange fees. If you're willing to put some work in I reckon you should be able to "manually" find counterparties for the major altcoins, but to my knowledge there are no decentralised exchanges that offer reasonable liquidity.
