How could adding calibration frames quadruple the stacking time? Any ideas or suggestions or tips to speed up the process??

Which can give about 60 stars depending on the object. Just finished stacking Took 6hrs 20 minutes Has anyone else had over 6hrs to stack that amount of data inc calibration frames?? Thanks Martin.
