I would give the OP a break - he's probably still new and just enjoys messing around with his gear.
I rinse well and hang to dry, takes about 30 minutes after a FW dive and 60 minutes after SW because I rinse a little more thoroughly. After some springs/caverns I consider that the rinse.
I want my gear to stay in good shape, primarily for safety but also to maximize lifespan and/or resale value. But I see no sense in spending hundreds of additional hours over time to eek out a few more years of equipment life.
Scuba equipment is really pretty durable. Clean the BC bladder, keep the regulator innards dry, rinse the neoprene, that's the main things. Just as important is to store in a cool, dry location out of sunlight.
