It's Amdahl's Law.
Lab work and clinical trials are incredibly slow. A single experiment testing a single candidate might take weeks (in cell lines), months (rodents) or even years (humans/non-human primates). You're going to do a bunch of them and they often require expensive reagents and/or tedious work.
Consequently, shortening the wait for a predicted structure by a few hours (or days) won't really move the needle. This is especially true if it makes your experiment, already probably a long shot, less likely to succeed.
