That's not what I meant. I meant, I've done much practice. But it takes the same amount of time because finding the corners and edges takes too long.
You need to improve your look-ahead, which comes with time. Do slow, untimed solves, finding the most efficient solutions possible to practice F2L techniques.
Recognizing pairs becomes very fast with practice though. You're doing nothing wrong; it just takes practice, most likely more practice than you realize.
