Interesting. I have always seen it slower to pull than to install, if for no other reason than the learning curve occurs on the pull and doesn't slow you down on the install. And, usually, going back together is an engine that is not dirty or leaking oil which can slow you down. I also tend to run into "mysteries" during the pull of an engine. By the time the engine is ready to go back in the car, I have solved or resolved the mysteries. I'm talking about things like fasteners or couplings that are difficult to remove for a number of mechanical reasons.
But, that is the viewpoint of a hobbiest who does not do this for a living. Those that do it for a living don't have a learning curve to go through, and don't care how quickly they pull things apart.....they know that going back together properly is really what matters. So, I can see your logic......if only I were a professional, which I am not.
