The same command for me, also running on a Macbook, took just over 5 minutes, using conda 4.5.9. I also repeated inside a Ubuntu docker container with only miniconda installed and got the same.
It’s funny to me that you would expect operations involving “conda install anaconda” to be fast though. 11 minutes seems perfectly fast for that and would be comparable to pip or anything else if doing that huge of a set of package installs.
That is not at all a “trivial environment” like you said previously.
