A 30 point climb may take upwards of 30 seconds, even with a very well designed mechanism. (Preparing to eat my words)
But, a 10 point climb can be near instantaneous.
A 20 point climb, I guess we will see.

As is the answer to most problems, the best answer is a balance.

As per two cycles in 30 seconds, dream on. 2067 does cycles at 30 seconds each without any hindrance from defense. Granted, I'm sure they have a plan to speed up this process, but to cut the time in half is a bit optimistic.
