When I initially earned my instrument rating (as a civilian) I went through a local school and due to time constraints worked it out so I would complete 2-3 events a day--with an "event" defined as a flight, simulator, or Elite 5.0 desktop session. I had just graduated high school and wasn't working before going to college. Flight training became my full time job for 14 days and I couldn't have been happier with the pace/quality of training. Very little time was wasted re-learning and I found myself in a learning groove.

To each their own. It worked for me and I'm sure it would not be the correct approach for others.

FWIW--the Navy definitely does not have a problem double-pumping (2+ events) students through flight training.
