When do feeds speed up?

Am bfing my ds (9.5 weeks) and it takes him a good 25 mins per breast, sometimes longer (and he usually takes both). I don't always mind but it's pretty exhausting esp at night. Do most babies get faster and if so when, or do some always take this long, and is there anything I can do to speed him up?!

I can't speak for all babies but dd (now 5 months) now has it down from about 20 mins on one (she only likes one at a time! )to about 10 mins? Maybe offer food more often? babies are tricky little things, no two are the same unfortunately!
