So for this 2d contour a feedrate of 60IPM results in a cycle time of 4:52:

Changing the feedrate to 600IPM the cycle time is 4:50:

EDIT: Also using the Laguna post the feedrate was half speed. I posted another toolpath (a copy of the problematic toolpath in the previous post) that was programmed to be 80IPM but a feedrate of 1016mmPM (40IPM) was posted:

All other toolpaths post with correct feedrates.

For your first issue, that's because you've overridden the Finish feedrate, which is found on the passes tab. Bumping up the feedrates in the Tool section has no impact on your F30. finish feedrate.

 

Changing everything to F600. yields this:
