Dwell time

In my past life I was a flat rate GM service dept tech. I made a career out of being efficient.
Doing vlm is time consuming but with efficient steps and having a system in place that is repetitive, it's not so bad. I almost never have a helper and almost always hit or exceed my target dollar per hour on residential. I don't do 5 homes a day and don't want to. Everything is realative.
Vlm can be extremely low overhead and very high profit margin. I'd just rather work at a comfortable pace and keep more or what I earn.

That's the best thing about VLM, extremely low overhead and high profit margin. A helper cuts into your profit. But, most customers want you to do a good job, and leave. If it takes to long, their not going to be satisfied. The whole time your there, they are waiting for you to get done.
