Oblivion Gates boredom

I was wondering if any of you know a way to get through Oblivion Gates quicker so I don't get bored. Specifically the gates in the 'Aid for Bruma' quest. I closed the Leyawiin gate in no less than 2 hours. I closed Anvil's gate in 1.5 hours.

I really don't have time to tread through 4 more Oblivion Gates for 1+ hour each just to have to go through the biggest one of all. It's very tedious.

Also, I'm on the Xbox 360.

Please help...?

Run, don't fight, just run.
Cast fortify speed spells and drink potions, and if you do get some damage from monsters gulp down few restore health potions. Of course it is going take some time to get these potions, or by making them, but it'll improve your alchemy skill.

Acrobatics is also a very nice skill. No need to go around when you can "climb" straight up.

Faberge's right, you can close the gates much quicker if you run right for the sigil stone and don't stop to fight anything. Invisibility scrolls or potions are really helpful for that.

lower the difficulty of the game to its easiest and then if you do end up havintgg to fight the enemies die in a hit or two and you take less damage when hit. plus the enemies get really really stupid and dont hit you half the time.
