Sounds like a lot, but what I actually do is:

  1. setting compound (which I assume is the hot mud) with fiber tape for joints and over screws
  2. 2nd coat of setting compound over taped joints
  3. quick sand (either hand or machine)
  4. skim coat using roller technique
  5. quick sand using machine (literally slow walking speed)
  6. touch-up any issues
  7. prime and paint

It is amazingly fast compared with trying to do 3rd and 4th feather coats and a high-build primer.
