If you take them time now, it'll get quicker in the future. Happens to 
me all the time, so I understand the frustration, but hang in there and 
eventually you'll be flipping them out wherever you like. Being able to 
ask sometimes stupid questions here to get things clear is always handy 
too- sometimes something that should be obvious evades our comprehension :)

It'll pay off in the end. IF you were getting paid for it, you'd have 
the knowledge for future clients, so I'm not sure how that fits in the 
economics ;) That said, I've found that paid advice is not always as 
helpful or knowledgeable as free... That may not be the case where you 
though. Here things are ruled by how much can be gained now and in the 
near future such as "off the shelf".
