How can I improve PDF Optimization performance

Question

The Performance optimization using Acrobat DC or Acrobat 11 is terrible. It took 13.5min to optimize a 14.3mb file using Adobe Acrobat Standard DC, Adobe Acrobat Pro DC or Adobe Acrobat 11 Pro. We took the same file and optimized it with Acrobat 9 and it took 3 minutes. Adobe DC / v11 reduced the file to 3.63mb and Adobe 9 reduced the file to 1.7mb. How do I improve the optimization performance? Taking 13min to optimize a file is unacceptable.

We set Optimization to reduce the file to its smallest size on both PCs
