Using the character creation system is no guarantee of anything, but it is something that takes a long time for many GMs and has contributed to many of them being intimidated by the preparation required for GURPS games.

Doing a character sheet for a generic combatant takes me maybe 15 minutes.
And as for improvising on the spot, that's for a different purpose entirely. The generic character sheet is there for a combatant. The ad hoc improv character is there for conversation and minor transactions. Different aspects are important in the two cases.
