That's because the hydraulic clutch handle does not "bottom out" as it would when a brake pads go solid against the rotor, and you're just mixing more fluid into a larger volume.
I have found that removing the clutch slave cylinder and using a simple C-clamp to restrict the piston movement will give the firm pressure you would have on a brake caliper, and evacuate all the old fluid much quicker.

I like that idea, I will try that next time.
