I've been doing winged liner for 3-4 years and here is what I've learned. I also take about 3-5 minutes on each eye. But of course practice makes perfect, I've been doing it for quite a while so I can do wings in a short amount of time.
first off make sure you are comfortable and your arm is well rested on something steady.
some people start off different inner corner, outer corner, wing but I personally like to start off with the wing going from the lower lash line and pull it up towards the tail of my eyebrow. after that I start going into the inner corner with short thin stokes and it sort of makes a triangle type shape so I fill that part in making sure I can't see any part of my skin.
I make sure I am following my natural eye shape and once I'm done I'll thicken it up to my liking making sure the inner corner is thinner than the rest of my eye. Oh and I use gel everyday.
here are my favorite eyeliners and some tips :
liquid (NYC, almay) - be patient and careful with liquid.
felt tip (smashbox) - make sure you are holding it horizontally.
gel (Tarte clay paint) - if you want a nice sharp wing then make sure you are using a thin precise brush, although you can use a angled also.
pencil (Loreal) - I don't recommend pencils for winged liner since you can't get any sharp wings with it but if you do make sure the pencil is always sharpened.
eyeshadow/ powder (any) - I would only use eyeshadow/ powder if you want smoked out winged liner.

There isn't really a way to make it faster. Just practice and then you can do it faster.

Macs new curved angle brush (267) is designed specifically for easy winged liner application with gel or powder products. I used this brush with acrylic paint one day and here are my thoughts. It gives a nice wing with a stamping motion however I do find it to give a thicker line over a thin one. It also takes a little work to make the point perfect however overall I found it quick and easy to use.
Or you could always use the tape trick that everyone else seems to use. It should help cut down time as you shouldn't need to do any clean up.
