On a more hopeful side of things, they have hired a bunch of people and are also working on updating their tech. So once they get everything sorted out we might see faster times.
Why? My partner and I didn’t want to be married but living apart for potentially years. If you don’t need to work as soon as you arrive (I’m lucky that I don’t) what’s the benefit of going down the CR1 route? This is a genuine question btw we’re about 6 months in to the K1 process and unless one is significantly faster than the other to get us to be together, the rest is immaterial to us and maybe others, but would there still be a benefit to changing beyond being able to get a job the day you land?
