Apart from the Convict knockdown, it's a very good place to blast through a few levels, yes.
I boost with a mage there, usually in three pulls (one for each "wing"), but sometimes end up cutting the pull short due to the knockdown. I loot with the drones for as long as it takes to get back to full mana, then push on.
With the shops right outside for selling all the crap, a mailbox not far away for sending cloth to my auction guy, it's pretty much perfect.
Having said all that.... I don't stay there long beyond level 20 because of those damn knockdowns! Get four or five of those on the trot and a mage is in serious trouble (still alot quicker than with my pally though).
At least I can resist the Hammers of Justice from the guys in SM!

Old thread is old, but, I'm not convinced a mage is really that much faster in Stockades. With my Paladin, I 2-pull and clear inside of 7 minutes total (zone in -> clear -> reset) no looting though. How fast is a mage?

Three pulls + drinking... sometimes more pulls if I find I'm getting knocked down too much. Erm.... close to 15 minutes, I imagine, with any of my 70 mages.
It obviously depends what you compare it to. Compared to MY prot pally (11.5k health, 5.5k mana, Armor: 14743, Defense: 486,Dodge: 11.73%, Parry: 15.44%, Block: 11.84% and only 225 spell damage!) my mage is much, much quicker.
With my pally it's an exercise in patience. He's never in any danger of dying, but then neither are the mobs ;)
