Its always the case with every tower: long time to reach street level, but rises quickly. Not to mention how complex and delicate this site is with those slurry walls.
I understand everyone is growing tired of waiting (as am I), but lets be a little more constructive on this thread rather than polluting it with crap. The damn thing is getting built, lets be happy!

I imagine that because it took close to five years to start getting the Freedom Tower off paper and on the ground, people at times might "lose it" because of the fact that it's going to take at least until about 2011 to see the finished product.
Which is probably why the other towers will start being built almost simutaneously so that they will all be soaring close to the same time and so as not to drag out the construction process for what might have been yet another decade or so.
7 WTC seems to have sprouted up pretty quickly once it got started. But maybe because that building was the last one to fall, so I think Silverstein wanted it built first.
To coin the phrase; time waits for no one, in this case, we are all being forced to wait this thing out regardless, but at least Silverstein and the officials, along with the PA, has worked out a plan last spring to accelerate
the sprouting of the towers and to ease the time frame and not make it seem so painfully slow.
