Mikael- Darktable is not the same as Lightroom. I used Lightroom for many years (since it came out) and it does do what you say, you get a reasonable rendition pretty quickly with the various defaults and styles available. LR also has good DAM capabilities. It's a great program for developing lots of images quickly and will suffice for most needs. Like all software, it has its strengths and weaknesses.
The closest I've gotten to building speed in darktable for shoots where most of the images need to be at least processed in a common manner is to process one, and build a history stack and using the lightable copy and paste commands, applying it to a range of images. Individual images can then get tweaked before export. Another alternative is to import your jpegs and work from there. In a lot of cases, you can get what you want without using the RAWs. There are many images processed in Lightroom that still look perfectly fine after many years. But there are some that I've reprocessed in darktable and reprinted, and there are some stunning differences in the new prints. darktable is a powerful program offering greater control over individual images than Lightroom. You might want to give it a chance, and keep Lightroom around as well. Enjoy!
