900 patches /4 patches/min = 225 minutes = 3.75 hours
hardly an "extra minute"

I've been using FreeBSD since version 4.10, but that doesn't imply that 
I've every downloaded vim patches before.

Great.  With the previous mirror I had it would have taken well over an 
hour back when the patch count was 700.   That is a major problem for 
others, despite the fact that it's not a problem for you.
