I think the time period is too short. It's almost as good as the 18th level ability but acquired at 2nd level. For example, a 3rd level alchemist would normally take 1-6 days to create an alchemical item. Swift alchemy, by RAW, would drop that to 1-3 days. In comparison, 20 minutes (decreasing to 5 min., then 1 min.) just seems too short to me (a character taking a day out of the adventure to craft could end up with a case of alchemical fire).
I haven't run the numbers for an 8th level alchemist but since the rules don't accommodate construction times less than one day I would prefer the time for LPF Swift Alchemy be set at 4 hours/2 hours/1 hour. I would listen to reasons for decreasing that time.
For now, NO.
