To Waltham from the west side of the lake, route 93 would be used only down through the Hooksett toll below Concord. There route 3 splits off from 93 and is much better for a morning commute to Waltham. It does involve another toll, but it runs down through Nashua and dumps onto route 128 (also I-95) about five miles west of where 93 intersects 128. The first four miles of that piece of 128 can be rather congested in the morning, as can the stretch of 93 from Andover down to 128.
In the evening, coming out of Waltham, you'd want to take route 3 back up. Sure, the half dozen or so miles from Waltham to 3 can be congested in the evening, but the stretch from just past 3 over to 93 isn't something I'd wish on anyone.
