The time spent reduction rules are simple, but that comes at the expense of not making much sense in many situations even for tasks which could plausibly be done very fast.

There is a -5 penalty to do things twice as fast, but if you again want to halve the time taken, the penalty increase gets much less, until it is only -1 to go from -80% to -90%. It would probably make more sense for it to be the other way around, since you have likely already used all easy efficiency increases when you are at -80% time, so further decreases would be very difficult.
