I own several Jumbo 120's, and have averaged about 45 to 55 minutes to 
format on each drive since the beginning, regardless of what processor it 
is currently operating under. 
I would suggest that if you have a large number of errors or bad format 
tracks, replace the tape. If it takes too long for a format to take 
place, ( > 1 hr) then you should contact CMS Tech Support, if you can get 
through. The latest version of their software is pretty buggy, so you 
might want to consider an older version, as well.
