This is my story, too. These high efficiency washers use incredibly little water, so I don't feel like I'm wasting much by laundering immediately. In the summer, after a really sweaty ride, I'll add Oxiclean to the load. My stuff comes out fresh and clean. I line dry the synthetics in the basement near the exhaust air from a dehumidifier. They dry very quickly.
