Two tricks:

 - Roto Brush has to propagate from the Base Frame outward. Placing the initial base frame closer to the middle instead of the start of the clip, and/or creating multiple Base Frames, results in shorter spans that may need to be propagated.

 - Once you have Segmentation Boundary you're happy with, click the Freeze button in the lower right of the Layer Panel to pre-calculate and store the time-consuming propagation.

hope that helps -
Chris

Having worked extensively with the rotobrush, if it's taking forever you may not be using it right. I learned this through brute force trial and error, but if you do it right even huge complex masks propagate quickly. You just have to work in chunks and do some counter-intuitive things. The rotobrush is already pretty amazing

Has the roto brush speed increased at all?

Adobe released a sneak peek at a new technology for After Effects today, and was kind enough to give me permission to spill more of the beans. 

Short version: At last! A solution aside from keying to roto hair!!!
