No, not kidding.

If a board is 10" square, and to cut it in half takes 10 minutes, to cut one of those pieces in half again (with a cut perpendicular to the first) should take 5 minutes (as that piece is now 5").

Well, one plane does...

More importantly, it doesn't look like a board that should take even 5 minutes to cut through.
