Paehhos Crater - 5 minutes, 15 seconds
There have been recent changes to Paehhos which has turned it into a bit of a time sink.
I strongly recommend that you run up the hill directly behind the main tent and simply run in circles, picking up 42 plants samples. There are seven plants, and they will respawn just in time for you to pick them up again. Time: 3 minutes 50 seconds - and it doesn't seem to matter how many people are in the instance.
I've played the whole territory as well, but as of the March 19 patch, a few changes have occurred. There are far fewer animals in the crater, and they are more aggressive. This means they will attack you more often after the "Observe Wildlife" button is clicked - and even if you leave their demise to your assistant, they will still come after you as they are far harder to kill than before.
Number of players in the instance does affect your time, but only slightly: under 20 or over 30, it will take an average of 8 minutes, 50 seconds; Between 20 and 30, it's about 8 minutes even.
Please note that there are also animals that will attack you without being 'observed' first: two are located by the two Hirogen hunters on the rail out of the crater to the 'alcove" in the southeast corner and the other is where the path leads to the Hwael ruins.
There is a second change - the number of rocks and plants is markedly increased, so it's worth completing the mission, then heading to the southeast alcove and the crater to pick up these two items. It's easy to get 5 of each on each visit.
Yes, I do have too much time on my hands.
