And did you re-install, or clone a brand-new image in? Most people who do this will perform all updates first thing when they get/install the computer, then clone the HDD as a backup, it shouldn't take as long doing it that way.

Since OS X Lion, Macs have had a built-in recovery partition that you can re-install the OS from. If you accidentally nuke it (like I did a few months ago), the ROM (do they still call it that?) has the ability to connect to the internet and re-download the installer so you don't have to go to the Apple Store to fix it.
