These numbers are depressing. Anything over ~15-20 minutes is quite unacceptable, even with IDE disks like in the Blade 1500. Given that SXCE will be discontinued soon, and AI/IPS will be the default for the "up-to-date Solaris" installation, I would really like to see some performance improvement.
