If anything it effectively challenges what you've been saying.

Cutting 33% of the time means you can achieve the same number tasks in 40 minutes rather than 1 hour. For a simple example, it means the difference between 112 lights instead of 160 over the span of one Garuda window.

It adds up with every.single.delay.

It is a matter of efficiency. Be grateful that the loot/tome-to-time ratio is sufficient for the other people to be willing to help one person through the dungeon or trial, rather than seeking something more efficient, and leaving the aforementioned player to fend for themselves.
