A couple episodes ago, when Oberon was last with Asuna, Lyfa logged out to shower and eat and it was early evening. Last episode, Lyfa logged out to check with Recon, and it was late at night. So Asuna leaving her cell just after Salamander was thwarted should work out to something like 2-3 am in the real world.

Nobody seems to forget that from all the posts I've read. But let's set that aside for the moment and address your comment. Yes, the arc is much shorter because of the time limit. However, using your own logic, we have seen Asuna for about SIX MINUTES of the three days Kirito has been logging in. It seems unreasonable to think that only the times we see Asuna have anything going on around her. Nor do we know that Asuna makes her escape attempt during or just after the Salamander situation. You're assuming that because it was shown after that it WAS after, rather than realizing that showing it at any other point would have lowered the tension and energy of what Kirito was doing. It's like assuming that every chapter in a book occurs in sequential order just because they're presented one after the other.
