I thought it was cutting pretty slow too. My experience with one end of a good, sharp 2 man saw was that it cut a lot faster than that, using human power. The machine doesn't have much of a stroke on the blade either.
Somewhere I have a book that carefully explains saw sharpening with a file. I thought it was very interesting. My Grandfather did a bunch of logging and wood cutting in the 30's and 40's using those saws and the book was among some of his stuff. I am certain that he sharpened his own saws. Probably an art that is more or less lost these days.
The tractor powered saw in the video is probably safer than the old buzz saws people used to use. We had a trailer mounted buzz saw when I was a kid, but my Dad would not let me operate it much. He was afraid I would fall into the rotating blade or have a piece of wood kick back at me. The flat belt was probably a bit dangerous too. We never used the buzz saw again after we got a chain saw, but I am glad I got to see it in operation and that I got to work it a little.
