It was (and is) my favourite slide film, and the processing turnaround was 4-6 days, which was acceptable. When I moved to the Netherlands, that became 2-3 weeks and I dropped Kodachrome--that was simply too long to wait. So if it now takes 2 weeks even for Switzerland-based customers, it could either be that the lab is very busy (good) or that Kodak has reduced capacity at the lab because of declining volume (bad).
