I was monitoring the top command, and while those 14 seconds elapsed, the python process shot upto 96% load for most of the time, and then finally a couple of seconds before the execution completed, youtube-dl entry in top was taking the same 96% load before the program final shows the above output.

Running it on my Desktop, which is a Q6600 CPU with 8Gb ram and Ubuntu 14.04 is fast enough.
