You are really grasping at straws now.  It took "5 minutes" because in his
description of the process he accounted for the time taken to both download
_and read_ all of the messages.  Counting download time alone (which is of
course the orange that you are comparing the apple to), it would still have
been just a total of "20 seconds".
