I concur that it is on the slow side. I'll generate a batch of test posts, enough so that I can test things like pagination (about 30-50). I'll wait it out, and not really use it again until it's time to clean up. I have not found a plugin that does it better, but I'm open to suggestions!

You can also generate content with wp-cli, which is faster, however there's no easy way to clean up the test data that's as convenient as FakerPress.

I had started to write a plugin that was specialized in creating many posts to bring WP to its limitations. I think it produced about 100.000 posts in about a minute. The code combined multithreaded JavaScript and aggregated SQL insert statements.
FakerPress and that (planned) plugin have different goals and a different audience. Maybe I'll resume the development.
