If you have good files it should be quick. The original way miters were cut was with aircraft shears you can waste a lot of the miter that way, and then there is only a small amount to file off, but the guys who use files on bike tubing don't seem to bother.

You can do the hacksaw bit with shears, on the kind of tubing we use. Not the BB or head tube, maybe, but then they receive miters.
