Gord, try shimming the square tubing in the vise so the cut begins on the corner of the tube instead of the middle of the flat spot. You'll get a much quicker penetration into the open part of the tube. A 1" thick spacer against the non-movable part of the vise should be just about right.

I've found that a variable speed Sawzall with a relatively fine-toothed blade makes for quicker cutting on square tubing than abrasive wheel chop saw. Use a square and a sharpie to draw a guide line around the tube, start at a corner, and turn it in the vise if necessary to get an accurate cut on all sides.
