Last time I had to rebuild permissions it took around 10 minutes. During those 10 minutes I got a couple phone calls that they had trouble viewing my site. It seems like the anonymous user permissions get rebuilt too. That is why I had this issue.

Is there a better way to rebuild permissions so I don't have any down time? Is there something wrong on my end that it takes 10 minutes. My site is pretty big.

I have 9 roles. There are about 30,000 nodes. I am using Content Access Module.

10 minutes for that many nodes doesn't seem so long. 50 a second. Personally, I think when a task like this is performed the site should be put in maintenance mode so users aren't also interacting with the site. That may also speed up the process as the DB will be performing the one task.

could also investigate whether drush can be used to rebuild permissions which may speed up the process as well. Though, I'd still put the site in maintenance mode for such a task.
