请问老师红字部分的句子如何理解?
There's been a lot of work on these machines since then.And these problems have been solved by and large.That's not to say the technology is perfect, it would be nice for example, to have a system that didn't take 6 months to produce an image.I suppose that's better than the year it took for the 1967 study to get results.
Microscopic algae just aren't as exciting I suppose.
请问: 这里的as的用法及成分?

1, 两个take都是指花时间,相当于need;
2, the 1967 study 应该是个专有名词,应该斜体印刷之类;
3, that's better than the year 里的 the year 具有双重作用,既是it took 的先行词,有指代该年的机器工作情况

请问: 这里的as的用法及成分?
一般as...as结构,后面的一个as会有省略的情况.
