This is the Wishlist forum so requesting faster generation times is completely legit but Rustyspoon included the words Possible Solutions. Real Band is the solution right now and the plugin could be another soon.

When it was created in 2008 it was SPECIFICALLY described as a new program that addresses things that Biab cannot do such as generating specific sections of a track. As a DAW RB only works on what you tell it to do so generating a few bars in the middle of a single track is pretty much immediate.

The fact RB is now over 10 years old does not mean it's been stagnant. The only thing new in the world is the history you haven't learned yet. I was a tester when RB was first introduced, there has been a TON of development just like with the plugin now. It may not be as far along as some would like but it works pretty well as it is.

RB is just another tool. A professional auto mechanic wants and needs the best so he will pay 12K for a set of Snap On tools. The best. A backyard hobbyist will have a mismatched collection of all kinds of tools that can't touch those Snap Ons. How much do you want to pay for the best? For $500 RB would be awesome I'm sure.
