If your taper is doing that much sanding, there is a problem, we never have to sweep the walls. after the final coat, we prime, if anything shows up after prime, we touch up, spot prime, and away we go....

It doesnt hurt to sweep the walls, at leas at eye level, it doesnt take long.
use a 415 to 517 tip to spray and backroll with an 18" roller setup.

Glad I don't laim to be a taper. I will at least do some dusting . Have been known to use a damp rag as tack rag to wipe with. I tack when I am concerned about the dusting from a brush or dry rag causing the dust to become airborn and settling back on th ewall or bb's.
I'm beginning to appreciate the dustless dw mud.

Ditto.
I also like to use a pva primer, especialy when dealing with darker colors.

thats the way to go. Use a pole sander and it takes 5-10 minutes to do the whole room, about the same time it'd take to sweep the walls.

Worst case sceanario when your painting over a lot of dust. You end up with a lot lil bumps which will be small and many if sprayed or big and few if rolled. Then again worst case scenarios get a 12 in knife scrape the whole wall then 2nd coat.

18 inch roller is more efficient than a 12 inch roller on large walls or ceilings.
