Maybe you're really slow at chopping onions? It takes like 15 seconds to dice an onion once it's peeled. Taking out, disassembling, rinsing, racking, unracking, reassembling, and putting away a food processor takes much much longer, any way you slice it. You're right, it's not even close -- manual dicing is always going to win for just a couple onions, unless you're already using the food processor for something else.

Maybe you're a masochist and like the sulfuric acid in your eyes?

		Let it spit in your eye, for it is doomed. Soon you will consume its essence and that is Good.

		Or maybe it's not a big deal for just a couple of onions? If it's really bothering you, make sure your knife is sharp enough. A dull knife makes dicing much slower and releases many, many more compounds.
