wow, over 10 minutes 'til October? I'm starting to get why people complain about it being slow.
I ran as germany first (didn't read your instructions properly) - 3 minutes 3 seconds.
Then I did three runs as England timing in at 2 minutes 49 seconds, 2 minutes 54 seconds and 3 minutes 10 seconds.

Well it might be a tad more useful if people add a complete overview of their used hardware/OS/Drivers :)

DxDiag is your friend!

Well yes and no. The most important thing would be to post if you could achieve a better time by doing something differently. For example using only 1 core gave better performance to some people by a lot.

I also suspect it is a multi core issue, maybe harsher on some hardware than other. I have noticed a lot of Intel Dual and some Quad core users having massive problems, same for - and a test run on another AMD dual core machine showed how pathetic my speed really is - ~3 min vs ~9 for me...

Removing multi-sample and trees reduced my times with about 15 seconds. Other than that I'm not sure what I should be changing to improve.

Might aswell try the core-thingy while I wait for D2D to wake up.
