But Dyfed-Powys is the largest geographical police area in the country (please, no jokes about there only being a 100 people and 1000000 sheep living here) and as just about every "country man” here has a .22 and a .243 for vermin control I don’t know why this one should be lighting fast whilst others takes an eternity, maybe it’d be interesting to compile a “league table” of different Licensing departments process times.

Not looking to start an argument, but by country do you mean Wales, England and Wales or the whole of the UK? Northern Constabulary covers an area about 3x the size of Dyfed-Powys. PSNI and Strathclyde both cover areas larger than Dyfed-Powys as well.

Northern constabulary cover a pretty large area too and its going to get even bigger in April when it will be a single police force in Scotland.
