Most DY shiurim I have seen in Chu"l are an hour, though I am aware of
shiurim that take 25-30 minutes.  In Israel, many DY shiurim are 30
minutes.

I wonder if those 30 minute shiurim are the reason that some describe DY
as 'saying Tehilim'.

We have about half a dozen DY shiurim/groups in our shul and AFAIK they are
now all 4-5 blatt behind. (They all learn for an hour.)
So to make up, they are having extra sessions on Shabbos and Sunday,
hoping to catch up shortly.

Personally, if I had any say in it, I would suggest that the timetable be
reformatted slightly - by expert DY Magidei Shiur - so that when it comes to
easy gemoros/agadata etc - they learn maybe one and a half blatt and
when things get more complicated they do just an amud.

WADR to DY, I doubt that doing so, would cause anyone to be oyver
on any issur de'oyrayseh or derabonon...
