I'm not sure if it is unusual to dark adapt quickly or not, but my wife stumbles around a room when I can see clearly enough to read the pattern on her PJs.

My wife's the same, as was just about every other woman I've ever hung around with. I suspect that is why there are so few females at astronomy clubs.
I'd be surprised though if after 20 or 30 minutes of pitch black other than for stars, you didn't see more than at the three minute mark. Though it's often darn hard to do nowadays.
