Slow Patch Cluster Installs

e250 running solaris 8 MU7

I'm installing the recommended patch cluster
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?doctype=patch&doc=8_Recommended.README

I've noticed that maintenance updates and recommended patch installs take
forever. 1hr to install a patch cluster and 3-4hrs for a maintenance
update seems silly.

Why does patching solaris take so long?

Is there any way to speed up the patch install?
