1) I had altogether too much fun writing this talk.

14:47 to 14:50 approximately.
My problem is with the way she uses the word 'altogether'. I am not sure I understand her correctly.
To me, 'altogether' in '1' would mean 'on the whole', 'all things considered', but it seems to me that she uses it as an intensifier.
How do you understand the sentence?
Would you use 'altogether' in that way?
Gratefully,
