Yep, that has been my experience also with any saw using "saber saw" type blades.  A band saw would last longer since all teeth on blade are used, but it's still going to get dull pretty quick.  HSS drill bits also dull fast. Carbide bits are the ONLY way to go for me.

I expect a diamond saw blade is better for the same reason.
