PokerStars cashout time question

[cardcounter0]

Recently started playing on PokerStars. Did my first cash out to neteller this weekend.

Does it really take 72 hours for the transaction to process, or is this just a CYA estimate?

I assume nothing happens over the weekend, do transactions process faster during weekdays?

Just trying to plan cash flow, since if it takes 3 days for Stars to send to neteller, and 2 days for neteller to EFT to my bank, I am basically looking at 1 week delay in getting my money.

Is there any way to establish yourself with Stars so transactions are processed faster? I am currently Gold close to Platinum, or Uranium, or what ever, after 1 week of play.
