For example, today I had an alignment done but they only put -1.9 and -2.1 camber in the front. Does it matter that it is not exact? And will not having at least the recommended -3.x hurt my times much? Since I daily drive the car in the spring/summer/fall they didn't want to add too much camber as they said it would be overkill for daily driving.

Sorry so many questions.
Depending on how much you autocross, getting to -3ish degrees up front can actually make your tires last longer. (Because they will wear more evenly when autocrossing)

I'm not sure about the time penalty for 2 vs 3 degrees though.
