Well you have two choices, do you want to compress the images or do you not? The more data you have---the bigger the image---it will take more time it is unavoidable. Even with Ghost, you can only push so many bytes down an I/O pipeline. But compression is what takes most of the time, it goes though that "Expanding" process, that is the uncompression taking place.
And you can control the level of compression used when packing images into WIM.
And you cannot sit there and tell me it will take 5 minutes for you to push a 10 GB image off a DVD onto a computer and be done. It is not going to happen.
