Alignmaster works well for many people, but it does seem to require a tight system with no flexure or mirror movement. Another issue is being able to see the star pairs it throws up.
Personally I only ever feel comfortable monitoring drift (or PAM as David said) until I KNOW the field isn't drifting. This is an iterative process, but you can home in very quickly, then spend minutes sitting on the star for final tweaking. Quite possible to have drifting on a meridian and star in East sorted within 10mins if you're in practice.
Depends how well you need to be aligned too of course - focal length you're imaging with, quality of mount, planned length of subs....
