The only real effective way to account for shutter lag in a P&S is
technique. Pre-squeezing to set focus and exposure... then waiting
for the shot. Release of the shutter from this point is instantaneous.

Maybe it is on *your* camera but it certainly isn't on mine. They
only way I've been able to deal with the problem is by pushing
the release button early and that's pretty much a guess.

Focusing is slow. Most modern digitals have pretty decent time from
end-of-focus to exposure. dpreview.com measures this and related times
and reports them in their reviews, so you can find independently
measured numbers for many cameras.
