How often do you have to go around?

Just do what you'd do in real life - slow down. When you find
yourself closely following traffic to the runway, you can create
more time between you and the guy in front by slowing down. Of
course, this may cause trouble for the guy behind you, but that's
his problem. You can also fly S-turns to create additional spacing.
In the sim, the problem is usually that the plane in front of me
lingers on the runway after landing. Then the controller tells me to
go around. I'm not given the option of refusing (although sometimes I
just ignore the controller and continue).
Talking about --how did you put it -- "...local pilots doing foolish
things...", this should be pretty close to the top of your list. And, it
will get you into an interesting but short discussion with the FAA, should
you survive that decision.
