I thought it was cutting pretty slow too. My experience with one end of a good, sharp 2 man saw was that it cut a lot faster than that, using human power. The machine doesn't have much of a stroke on the blade either.
Somewhere I have a book that carefully explains saw sharpening with a file. I thought it was very interesting. My Grandfather did a bunch of logging and wood cutting in the 30's and 40's using those saws and the book was among some of his stuff. I am certain that he sharpened his own saws.

We never used the buzz saw again after we got a chain saw, but I am glad I got to see it in operation and that I got to work it a little.
