Question Cranking Time?

Starting cold, my aircraft can take a bit of time to fire up. Reading the operating manual, it states a mx of 30 seconds on the starter, then leave it to cool for a few minutes to avoid overheating.

I find this an awful long time and can't imagine it doign the engine much good. I think the longest time I give it is about 10 seconds. Intrigued as to others thoughts on this?
