One way to try to speed up the installation a bit is to install the
eatmydata-udeb package when using d-i. I believe booting the installer
with this kernel argument should do the trick:
preseed/early_command="anna-install eatmydata-udeb"
How much time you save will depend on how many packages you want to
install.
