Bitcoin hash has had a rough start due to inheritance of difficulty to mine one block it dragged along from main Bitcoin chain resulting in block times over several hours, as hash power allocated to it was sub 2% of the main chain.

Today an adjustment happened lowering it significantly and we are seeing blocks mined aprox. every 25 minutes

Decrease in difficulty is calculated according to following rules:

Median Time Past of the current block and the Median Time Past of 6 blocks before has to be greater than 12 hours. If so, it gets 20% easier to create proof of work. In other words, miners can find blocks 20% easier. - https://medium.com/@jimmysong/bitcoin-cash-difficulty-adjustments-2ec589099a8e

We’ve seen block with size overflowing 4mb appear within the network showing healthy operation with intended use for Bitcoin cash chain.

It will be interesting to see how BCH is affected by more and more people getting their funds resulting from these faster block times.
