Did the Roman senate immediately send new governors after the death of proconsuls/propraetors?

Talking specifically about Syria after Crassus' death, Cassius had to take care of the province for about next two years. The new proconsul - the well-known Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus who was consul in 59 B.C. together with Caesar - was sent only in 51 B.C. But this should be considered as an absolutely critical situation (e.g. in 52 B.C. Pompeus Magnus was consul sine collega). Under normal circumstances the senate would find a new candidate much earlier.
