Several minutes? That's a gross exaggeration. Although I have not timed it, the time to lower to the lowest setting from the standard height is roughly 15-20 seconds, and you can begin the process before coming to a complete stop (i.e. as I'm pulling slowly into the garage I've already begun the lowering process)
Also it does not require the car to be running. The air suspension can be adjusted even while the car is off.
It definitely helps in loading/unloading. My wife is shorter, and at standard height getting our daughter in and out of her car seat is not the easiest, so even fractions of an inch help.
