It’s not that bad if you keep it to 3-4 people and you plan for it. I’ve had groups with new players like that which start at 10am and go to around 5pm, including around 45min for lunch. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday.
Going the full 6 players takes a much longer time, though.
If everyone in the group already knows how to play, and at least one person in the group is the “Cool, so it’s Harriet’s turn now” kind of person that keeps the game moving, then games can go fairly quickly in my experience
