@Boondoc What speed is your wireless. N and AC wireless are significantly faster
Also having an SSD on your laptop makes it much faster as well.
Thirdly, whats the distance and obstructions to the wireless router? All of these factors make a difference.
As Jon has stated above, 8.3 is in the works. It speeds things up some more: Faster start times and the ability to choose how far back in time you want to pull import items. Hopefully it will pass beta and be generally available soon.
