The real bottleneck is that life creates wholesome conditions for life. Small amounts of biomass have small slow effects. It is the cumulative effects that make the big changes. The built up is incredibly slow, but once the tipping point is hit, change is rappid and profound. To speed up terraforming, you've got to get to the tipping point faster. Which is the vast problem.
