Take home assignments can take little time or a lot of time. Interviews that consist of round after round after round after a bunch of phone calls take a lot of time too. I actually prefer a home assignment of similar length. I don't believe cheating is such a major concern. The applicant should be able to talk about their solution and all the choices they made if they actually wrote it and understand the solution.
