Changing the circles to no longer machine material that will later be discarded would shave some time off too….

You have to be careful with merging toolpaths. I’ve run into issues where I had a pocket operation, followed by a cleanup pass, among a bunch of other things. Everything looked fine, but when I ran it, the cleanup op ran before the pocket op. It was in the right order in the software, and nothing I did was able to switch the order of those 2 ops. It remains a mystery to this day… ultimately, I just made 2 separate merged toolpaths, 1 for pocketing and 1 for cleanups…

Shouldn't time be dependent on your machine. A rigid machine can be moved faster. How is aspire calculating time?
