I've never soaked lentils and they've cooked in a reasonable amount
of time, depending on how soft you like them - and i like mine pretty
soft, but i've only made about a quart of cooked lentils at a time.
If you're planning on making a much larger quantity, i guess soaking
it would make cooking time shorter.
