So what is your point?
Being in air or ground does little effect of the rotation of the flap wheel makes to the flap since it is geared.
As you can clearly see on the clip provided by gunkan the reason that the flap extension takes a long time (even for the guy on ground) is probably not because it is "heavy" its rather because its a low gear ratio and he needs to regrip the wheel each time for each extension.
Even if there is airflow against the wing and flaps it would not affect the system that much since it should be designed to extend the flaps easily without much muscle force at normal speeds. ( therefore the low ratio and lots of turns)
