Actually, ffmpeg should be much faster - at least with a newer versions of ffmpeg (try to re-download ffmpeg from Options - Settings - Waveform - SE downloads ffmpeg 5.0.1 currently).

As a bonus, ffmpeg works for more formats than vlc.

The waveforms looks a little different, but I've not analyzed why...
