Running an initial install takes about 20 minutes, running a salt-call state.highstate takes about 6 minutes. That's not unreasonable, but I'd like to speed it up, but I'm not sure how to find the slowest states.
Is there any way to find how long each state takes to run other than watching my screen with a stopwatch for 6 minutes?

A “highstate” is a way for Salt to dynamically determine which Salt Formulas should be applied to a certain minion. To start with you execute a “highstate” like this: salt 'minion01' state.highstate. This command causes the Minion to download and examine a file from the Salt Master called the “top file”.
States in the salt belt include Alaska, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, ...
States are stored in text files on the master and transferred to the minions on demand via the master's File Server.
salt : This command is used to target minions in order to run ad-hoc execution modules. This is the main tool used for remote execution. salt-ssh : This command allows you to use SSH as an alternative to ZeroMQ for the transport mechanism. salt-run : This command is used to run runner modules on the master server.
sudo salt-call state.highstate provides start-time and duration for each state.
