I have found 4C is only a few minutes longer than 5C, and definitely not 25% longer, which it would be in theory.

That makes sense. Cell resistance plays a definite role in this. The higher current you charge, the higher voltage it will take to generate that current, and so hits the 4.2v/cell threshold faster.
