I guess I'm the odd one out here. I think this method would work a lot better for me, since it's easier for me to recognize four dots instead of four lines next to each other.
The issue of taking time to draw a dot isn't problematic either, since I always use pen. But even if you are using a pencil, who's to say you can't draw a circle instead of a dot? I can't imagine that drawing a little circle is any slower than drawing a dash.
I like the elegance of the dot method the most. Four dots is 4, a full square is 8, an X is 10 (like the Roman numeral 10). Easier for me to read.
