According to that web site they are 32 times faster than a dalek, and
produce compost in 30-60 days.


The youtube videos do suggest fast composting is with a fairly full load
carefully constructed from predetermined quantities of certain
materials. Lesser amounts take longer. This time of year the same full
load in a standard dalek would also compost fairly fast so the x32
figure may only be true with _full_ load during winter months. In the
winter getting rid of large amounts of compost material is possibly not
required.
