Hmm…doesn’t this technique effectively make the minute longer, not shorter? Because you can pack more speech into a minute of recording? Seems like making a minute shorter would be counterproductive.

No. You're paying for a minute of audio, which will be more packed with speech, not for how long it's being computed.
