I average 5-6 lines/minute and that includes turning.  Also, that's in oak.

Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

For clarification in case its not clear what a line is, Its the sawing pass and return of the saw.

I can break a 16" diam x 14' long big tooth aspen down completely into 2"X10"s in 9 mins from the time the log is dogged until I release the dog board  :)  My offbearer did the timing  :)  I guess I wasn't sawing fast enough if he had time for that  eh eh
