Default How Much Post Processing Do You Do?

As my shots get better and better exposed, I have less things to try and fix in post production. However, almost every single one of my shots looks better with a bump in constrast and sometimes a bit of saturation and I have to admit I love the "Clarity" tool in Lightroom. My landscape shots especially are in need of a bit of pop. They are correctly exposed, just not rich in color.

Like most people I'd like to spend less time in Lightroom and more time shooting photos. Granted Lightroom makes it very easy to do a couple of tweaks and move on to the next photo, but I wonder if great photographers ever get to the point where they only do post production to achieve a specific effect.

When you've selected the few keepers from a given photo shoot, do you post process each shot or only 1 or 2?
