how fast do you guys solve F2L? how does that compare to the total time it 
takes you to solve the cube?
   
  right now i'm working on intuitive F2L, as indicated by my several posts 
recently... I am starting to get the hang of it, and it is no longer difficult 
for me.. HOWEVER, it's not fast. With my old method, I solved the first layer 
and used 2 algs to solve the 4 pieces in the 2nd layer. WIth this method, a 
good F2L takes about 45 seconds(for me). How much practice do you think it will 
take me such that I can do F2L in less than 45 seconds? I just timed myself 5 
times and I did it in around:
   
  2:25
2:20
1:55
2:12
1:50
   
  Anyways, I can see that I'm getting much better with practice, but I'm still 
anxious to get faster so I figured I'd ask.. plus, Craig B told me that he got 
the hang of it in 3-4 days, and it's taken me longer than that, and I think 
i've been doing a relatively heavy amount of cubing in the past few days, so I 
figured I should get it down sooner ^^
   
  Also - although I understand this method, do you think it makes a big enough 
difference in time to justify memorizing the 41 algs? This method is pretty 
good and i know it has a potential for being very fast, but assuming I took it 
slowly (maybe 1 a day, or 4-5 a week or something), I could easily memorize 
those algs after a month or two.. would that be noticeably faster? It seems to 
me that having an alg for each case would be significantly faster.
   
  Let me know.

  ps--ordered cubesmith tiles, got them on today..very nice -_-
