Well, actually, I think that's pretty fast drainage. If water remains for
hours, then you've got poor drainage...half an hour is fast and ten minutes
is greased lightening:-) Really don't think you've got a drainage problem
at all, so it's likely best you opted for compost over sand.
Your plants will love 8 inches of compost!
