I've seen the same thing. I tried the "superpowers" meta-harness and gave it a simple web app task and it spent 4 hours to make a basic timer app. I might try restricting the amount of thinking it is allowed to do to 500-1000 tokens.
There is a native reasoning effort setting. It defaults to xhigh, I guess to get the best benchmark results, but you can just run it on medium or low instead, or for simple things even disable thinking outright.
