And your transaction is confirmed in block 351193, 242 minutes after creation.
From my personal experience, 0 fee transaction will take quite some time (up to a few hours) to get confirmed even when it satisfies all the 3 conditions. If you need it to go through fast, it is better to include a transaction fee.
Yes, they take time. The reason behind this is that there is only 50KByte per block for transactions without a fee by default. Thus you are not competing for a spot within the full 1MB of a block, but for a much smaller space.
