Are the normal creation times for poisons crazy long or is my math off?

4th level wizard makes single dose of hemlock poison.
4 skill ranks +5INT bonus +3class skill=12
average D20=10.5
total 22.5

hemlock costs 2500gp and is DC18 so...25,000 in SP
average weekly progress is 22.5 x 18=405
25,000 / 405 = 61.728 weeks
more than a year? for a single dose of hemlock. i may be missing some little additions and such like laboratory bonus, but unless something is wrong with the fundamental part of the math then that is crazy. i worked out many of the others and its also nuts. without the master alchemist feat listed a few posts up its not feasible to use created poison even semi regularly. so please..if i missed something someone please chime in.

also.. what about using fabricate to make poisons? even if usable(and i don't see why it wouldn't be) it is a 5th level spell...so 9th level caster...
any help appreciated...
