Cap speed is based on how many players you have on the point vs how many enemy players are on the point.
If you have 5 and they have 0, the point caps in a few seconds. If you only have 1, it takes forever and can be solo contested.
If you have 1 on point, 1 or 2 standing near the point but not on it, and 2 or 3 running around trying to pick off stragglers,
you're creating an opportunity for your own people to get picked off or for a single opponent to freeze cap progress,
and you're giving the enemy team loads of extra time to regroup and contest.
If you're killing the enemy team then they won't be alive to contest the actual push to the goal.

Your goal is killing the enemy team. If the enemy team is dead, they cannot contest the push. You should never, ever have your team just sitting around AFK on the point unless all of the enemies are dead or otherwise unable to be reached. 3 players running in to contest the checkpoint against a full team are just suiciding and adding to their respawn timers. This is a good thing. It means they will not be able to resist the push to the goal as well.

Unless you're the team's designated "okay go AFK on the point" guy, you should never be standing around idle. You should be harassing and killing the remaining enemy players.
