If that means that you spent 8 months writing, and then stopped writing (so to say) and then started 8 months of revising, then that is not efficient.
You need a better plan to begin with. You would probably end up with, say, 12 months rather than 16 months total.
That of course is only my opinion (from a distance) for whatever it is worth.

16 months, at 18 hours a week for 257k words isn't a slow pace. Most novels come in at 80k to 120k. So, if you prefer, you can think of it as two novels in 16 months.
But really, no I'm not terribly interested in advice to speed up my process. I write and revise as fast as I do, about 2000 words a day writing, with greatly variable output on the rewrites.
