Stratasys Insight Software Bug

We've just been informed of a known software bug in the Insight Software
that runs the Stratasys Titan. It seems that the time estimation function
greatly over estimates time required to create parts. Stratasys knows of
this error. Does anyone have a work around or a rule of thumb we can use to
estimate build times?
