ctsmith,

Yeah, a lot of time in handloading is used up in case trimming, one reason steeper-shouldered cases are popular for high-volume shooting. The Giraud and similar tools save a lot of time if you have to trim.

If I don't have to trim I can load 250-300 rounds an hour on my Redding T7 turret press. I like it a lot because it will hold up to 3 sets of dies, which a lot of time when loading for different rounds--which I do a lot.
