If you don't care if the update succeeds or not, just don't do the update.
if you do care you need to wait.

Perhaps there's a way yo make the trigger faster.

As usual, that depends. If running that function asynchronously from your update can not break referential integrity or
causedead-locks with your update (e.g. they aren't directly connected), then you can use LISTEN/NOTIFY to notify
anotherprocess on a different connection that the function should be performed.
