For a first time with a new character it can indeed be a lengthy battle. Also if you're good at killing it fast you can skip some steps of getting the better hardmode armors and jump straight in with your molten armor set to keep in the challenge. The better you're prepard the easier and faster you can kill him (obviously but worth mentionning i guess with such posts). I really doubt that anyone before killing his first hardmode boss could kill it that fast without a crazy amount of preparation or making huge lines of explosives.
