Based on these benchmarks, you are including the time it takes to download packages, which is very unreliable since it varies widely based on mirrors. I've installed QEMU on Arch before in a much shorter time. Can confirm though that Alpine has very consistent download times, while sometimes with Arch I will have to change my mirror due to poor speed.

Makes even the occasional network slowdown much more tolerable... Just disable it when doing dist-upgrade or do-release-upgrade.
