I'm not sure I follow what scenario is happening to make it so slow.

4 minutes isn't great, but its far shy of 30 minutes.

I have only spinning rust, only 8G of ram, and I had firefox eating 100%
cpu(optimus--) while I did this, and I don't exactly have the fastest CPU (
frequent overheating problems trigger thermal throttling )

To suggest its a nightmare for all users seems a stretch given that. It
could be better, but everything can always be better.
