Delt out while 'Taking a lap'

One of the private cardgames I play at has tables with large deep troughs(pockets) around the outside to hold each players chips.


The only way I have come up with to see how many chips other players have is to get up between deals and walk around the table(take a lap).


Players deal in turn and some have begun dealing me out if I can't get reseated quick enough.


Should I just not keep up with stack sizes or any other ideas?

Is this a pot or no-limit game? If so, then yes keep track. Not quite as important in limit.
