I recommend reading up on the value of a merge queue to ensure it meets your team's needs, as 10 minutes sounds fairly standard to go from PR -> merged: https://graphite.com/blog/what-is-a-merge-queue
The 10 minutes is likely the additional CI run in the queue to make sure there are no failures with merging into main.
There are ways to speed this up if needed:
• Merge the PR as a hotfix to go to the top of the merge queue (this still requires a CI run): https://graphite.com/docs/get-started-merge-queue#enqueue-through-the-graphite-app
• Pause the merge queue and manually merge on Github (not recommended but a possible temporary workaround)
◦ Go to the merge queue tab -> ... -> pause merge queue
◦ Go to the Github PR (short cut C + G on the PR page) -> Merge
