You got lucky.

Right now the average processing time for PERM is 8 months (235 days): http://dolstats.com/ and it used to be worse (government shutdown). Also preparing PERM takes some time and it can't be speeded up. So it can take well over a year just to get PERM and it doesn't take it account risk that you will have to start over for any reason (e.g. change jobs, change in company legal or organizational structure, HR got busy, someone involved in the process like manager change jobs).
