Well, job.log should be good place to look for the reasons. I bet big portion will be refreshing the image. Another possible issue could be that the image performs first boot every-time (you can see that in serial console log...). This can be worked around by booting the image without restore and then backup the booted image, anyway first boot should not take so long (unless there is something iffy).
