Not agree. I am working in production 24x7 environment, where 10 minutes cost too much...
If it is a "production 24x7 environment", then you either build a new system and swap over or use kickstart to automatically build a pre-tested and pre-configured setup. If 10 minutes matter, you don't wait for someone to click and choose install options and then manually configure things.
Do not take me so literally. I did not say that the text-install is more fast for all. I meant that for "skilled enough CLI user" some things could be faster when he/she does not use GUI. In some (perhaps specific) production environments it matters...
