I have always thought this to be odd, and it was only made more pronounced now that there are direct comparisons to be made between the two. I think wield amounts for minor enchantments are now, and have always been slightly high while those for runes have been mildly low.

I don't think this is relevant for something that only ever needs doing once. Chanters put icy/flames on an item a number of times too, which will probably bring their times closer together. In any case, I don't find it significant in 30 minutes vs 5 minutes when they're done once per weapon.
