John, I would say that 8 hours a page for all the 
planning, research, writing, illustration, review 
and revision management, etc., that goes into making 
a document is perfectly reasonable...for a *one page 
document.*  However, I'd bet that few here will say 
that they've ever gotten that much time to do anything 
bigger, and so we speed up our projects in much the 
same way that data compression works, by indentifying 
portions of the project that can get by with less and 
giving them less.  Also, wherever possible I try to 
get myself more "time per page" by planning to create 
documents with fewer pages.
