I say this because @Sportsguy83 said his friends tablet flashes pretty quick. I'm sure the tablet is running a very decent SSD. Since the ROM that is being flashed is coming from the main storage device, this makes sense. Unless, the ROM that is being flashed is cached in the RAM. Then this is a different story.

I'm just thinking aloud. I could be completely wrong. I just upgraded the SSD in my Macbook recently to a much faster one, so I'll have to see if I notice a difference when I flash next. That won't be for awhile though.

Then I went to a Mac with SSD and lowered it to 3-4 minutes.

But now I want the cake and keep it at about 1 minute with a SSD modern Windows device.
