loading 10gb on a traditional hdd takes more than 2s (that's 5gb/s read speed. Nice hard drive.). your data is either in ram and you've a lot of ram, either, it's just not 2s, or its not a 10gb index.

And i'm talking 100gb+ indexes ;-)

Obviously 2min of netflow data ain't much. I would want to see the result over 200h (or more) of netflow data, for example

No, querying the data takes less than 2 seconds. I can't remember the load time.

Depends where you work...

I just checked, and it was 2Gb of netflow I tested on. That seemed small, so I looked a bit deeper and indeed I was only using a small fraction of our total netflow for that period. Tt was adequate for what I was trying, though.
