That was certainly true before the 1.11 patch, but since then I have yet to be in an AV lasting more than 40 minutes, and usually less than 30. Removing most of the guard units really sped things up.
Previously I had been in some AVs lasting over 4 hours, and read about them on other servers going 14 hours or more.
