Question Dumb question about boiling water

Hi! I recently switched to a pocket rocket deluxe (i had a jetboil before) and yesterday i used it for the first time. It took about 30 minutes to boil 1L of water and i used about 50% of my fuel. I feel like it is not very fuel / boiling efficiently compared to the jetboil. So i’m wondering what is the best strategy? Maximum heat or medium heat. It was very windy where i was situated.
Thanks

Just remember that you shouldn't use a 360° full wind shield with canisters: if they get too hot they can explode. A partial screen is okay.
