Big open spaces. The compile always takes long with big rooms.

also, it looks like you're missing textures :S

A pic of the layout would help.

Also, move the Texture group and the Visgroups to the right to increase the size of the grid windows and 3D window.

also, that's a point. What resolution are you running in?!
800 x 600?!?! Increase it!

if you have a lot of brushes as details, make them func_wall. I had tons of them in my map and it reduced VIS compile time from about 12 hours to about 2 minutes.

Have you tried running with fast VIS?

I pretty much run fast VIS on all but final compiles, and it seems to me to save lots of time...

2 hours is still WAY to long to wait imo
