For the Windows release, I doubt there is much one can do. The time-consuming part is to run the MSI file, on three different architectures, and in various combinations (admin/no-admin, default directory/Program Files, upgrade/no-upgrade). I don't always do all of them, but still it takes a while; I usually need an hour to make a release. Plus, sometimes something goes wrong: there might a backport that doesn't work on Windows, or it might be that I broke my build environment somehow (which I normally keep across releases - if I have to start from scratch on a fresh machine, it takes much longer: a day or so).
