As a skydiver - slow and carefully is better, but with that one becomes quicker as one does when practising lots. The number of jumps one can have in a day is limited by aircraft availability rather than packing speed. So of course there are 'professional' packers (say army) who are not constrained by aircraft and say have a week or two to repack a couple of hundred chutes - so different number likely apply. Further ones reserve chute needs to be repacked yearly (or so)- and that's one fella that one does wants the packer (needs a certified packer) to be slow and careful with. Thinking about it aviation (and space) seems to be one area where care comes before speed. So dude I think you are right in calling this out. [edited]
