In my opinion, statics are actually far less time-consuming than playing the game through PF/DF. Most statics in this game that I've seen only meet 2-3 nights a week for 2-3 hours each night, during which time you can make relatively consistent forward progress. Progress is much slower and much less consistent in PF/DF and whereas with a static you assemble a group once and meet on a schedule, with PF/DF you have to repeatedly spend time assembling new groups.
