People working in labs today must be speeding up nature significantly on a daily basis. Perform lots of concurrent experiments, apply different environmental stresses, provide different nutrition, cross different variants you find useful, automate all the processes and tests. I think the project referenced seems to be deliberately not doing that, to observe the natural speed of change.
