open studio pat v2

I am running into a couple of issues with the new PAT and looking for a solution. Currently using a v2.2 with instructions to model via PAT from https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio/releases/tag/v2.1.0

First off, the simulations take really long to run- I am running locally but the parent file runs 5 mins but the run time on the parametrics as per the window is 8 mins. However the window doesnt get done with the analysis even after half an hour! My assumption from previous PAT is that 7 simultaneous runs can happen at a time and this should only take 5 mins at the maximum since I only have 3 simulation running !

2-obtaining the results as a incremental from baseline. The window keeps saying that open studio results have not been applied to the specific measures- which is not the case. I applied this and as the measure description goes, this has a basis from SEED model and should apply to eventual parms.

3- visibility of the generated output reports. It seems like the eplus.tbl(which used to sit in the Energy plus folder for each data point) is now inside a zip folder. This makes it impossible to auto link the results from worksheets!

4- Download OSM file- the download seems to happen but the file is nowhere to be found! please help!

5- As an additional question and i think this might be available somewhere... is the result of the simulation in an excel format for all the runs! Is this sitting in any of the run files?
