I always thought that transformations happened in compressed time. While we see the whole thing the every one else only sees a second. In Madoka the girls only flash and are transformed.

starvingthanos: That's because in Madoka there isn't emphasis on it. Magical girl series tend to run very long and have to spread their budgets out. A long transformation sequence gives them a lot of stock footage to save on animation expenses. Note how the early Sailor Moon seasons had long transformations almost every episode, while later when they had a higher budget they started skipping the transformations and cutting to the girls transformed. It also gives an opportunity for easy fanservice via gratuitous nudity (look at a series like Lyrical Nanoha); Precure is more conservative about that than some other series with the glowing towels but they know adult men are a significant demographic for the show.
In Madoka, the show only runs 12 episodes so there isn't a need to spread the animation budget out, and long transformations would cut into the time available for plot and action.

Was there ever a comic or any other parody where the magical girl(s) was shot in the real time minute long transformation scene? If I didn't know better I would have said Robot Chicken did something like that but I'm not sure. I know that a villain got a boner from watching Sailormoon transform in Robot Chicken. But not a scene where the magical girl gets her brains blown out by a gun mid transformation.
Anyway, she certainly looks the part of a junior idol.
