Hanging, if done right, can be just as effective and quick as a guillotine. Hanging as a form of execution isn't about asphyxiation, but about using gravity and ones own weight to break the neck. In fact, making the person fall too far before hitting the end of the rope can, and has, caused decapitation.
The guillotine and the gallows have much in common, no? ;)
