I think there is (or is supposed to be) a "fast mode" for zone creation, where it just clones a template zone, and boots and configs the new zone. I don't know how long that would take in practice, though. Regardless, there would need to be a mode for end-developers to keep the build zone around for rapid development, only testing the full from-scratch build occasionally and as part of the pre-putback procedure. That eliminates the bulk of the zone overhead over the course of any given change to the gate.
