Why does it take so long? We vacuum a 45' x 75' pool in about 45 minutes. Granted, we use a 36" vac head. Do you need a better vacuum system? If you have good suction at the skimmer, this vac head is probably what you want:
Pentair R201286 222 Pro Vac Series Commercial Pool Vacuums

We use the larger model of that head, but you need REALLY good suction if you do. If you are careful, you can vacuum very quickly with that head. Unless your pool is rough, we could vacuum it in about 30 minutes.
