I personally would prefer combats in the 30 minute range: some a little more, some a little less.

I may soon go to reducing monster HP and seeing what that does; are the PCs still challenged? Is it fun for us?

A quasi-minion may be a very good idea.

Cheers!
Yep, this is my #1 problem with 4e- combat takes up way too much game time. When a 1st level combat with with a small group of kobolds ended up taking over an hour to play, that's when I knew it wasn't for me.
