Fast mode is too slow

It could apply to any game. In particular Race for the Galaxy and Time Masters. Time Masters in particular.
Speed chess is a thing. Why can't speed [insert game name] be a thing too?
Race for the Galaxy
5 minutes and 1.5 minutes per turn. It's too slow. My opponents are regularly finishing the game with > 2 minutes more thinking time than me, which is not enjoyable for me (I don't want to spend time waiting for my opponent to this). As a start, try 2.5 minutes and 45 seconds per turn. That seems reasonable.
Time Masters
The play clock is reset to 5:00 at the end of each turn, which is just plain wrong. It should be a base time plus an amount per turn, like every other game.
