Again, we're talking about a quick lockup. A cable can be cut in far less than 2-3 minutes using a pair of bolt cutters. Maybe just one snip if the thief is strong enough. Using a mini U-lock with pitlock skewers or other locking skewers is still far superior to using a cable lock, simply because a cable is so easily defeated. And since the skewers are a permanent attachment there's no need to fiddle with them until you need to do something with you wheel.
