If you are using a M series computer, and you notice during installation: 'Mac is Intel-based. Rosetta installation is not required',
this might be because terminal is itself running under Rosetta .
You can double check this by running:
uname -m
If so, you can go to Utilities and find the Terminal app, then right click on it and uncheck the 'Open using Rosetta' option within the 'Get Info' tab. Now, the download should be significantly faster without translation.
Just an issue I was facing and addressed.
