Perhaps it is true it takes that long to become an expert and to make lace fast and efficient. I think that the trick is, that the best way to become an ‘expert’ to make lace fast and efficient is to do it on a natural way. During my education as a lace instructor I had to make of course much lace, that I became faster and more efficient automatically. In the first year we did a long stroke of torchon lace with cloth stitch in between the various stitches. Than I developed the way to do the cloth stitch as I do it nowadays: starting the new stitch with cross simultaneously with the last cross of the stitch before. Of course I make lace for a long time now, but I never have that my muscle memory got in the way when I learned a new technique like three pairs fiandra.
