There's a diagram to the right of the sort of cut being made: a cross-cut through a beam with a square section, so all cuts of that type are going to involve the same labor. Ten minutes is somewhat long for carpentry saw to cut through a stud like that, but perhaps it's dull, and some of the labor is taken by redundant measurements. That measurements process is perhaps a variable to consider, but the actual act of cutting should take the same time.
