I generated a world with default (Medium) parameters.

When starting adventure mode, it goes through the two-week update period.  It takes 20-30 minutes on my computer.

Is anyone else seeing *really* long update times?  Could it be the generated world, somehow?

Yeah, it always seems to take a while, especially with worlds that have a lot of stuff going on. You could try regenning, but there most likely won't be that big of a difference.

Toady said that he will be able to tweak some things to speed it up in the future!

Try small worlds. In my computer it takes only one minute in small worlds.

You are not the only one experiencing this. I myself finally managed to get past this process and create an adventurer, and the game betrayed me by a crash after a few minutes of exploring a dwarven fortress. Now I have to get over this process again 

[Lightman]

Thanks for the replies.  I'll try a small world, after another adventure (or two)!  I have to see if I can overcome an enemy camp where my last adventurer was killed.

Chimpanzee:
Ah, sorry to hear that   I had a similar experience.  The next time, I made sure to save the game right away and then I could play until I died, at least.

With a medium world, 153 year history my computer takes around 7-10 minutes. A smaller world, shorter history, less sites/historical figures will all likely reduce the time on this screen. As Imakuni said, Toady has commented on this issue that he is hoping to optimise the performance of this screen.

I deleted my original world in favor of a small world. Hope that helps significantly. Toady himself has said somewhere that he's trying to fix the load time problem.

EDIT: In a small world it takes much less time to load thank in a large one.

My pocket world with a short history takes almost no time to load, so there's that at least.

Pocket worlds are the best right now.

I prefer Small worlds since they take well under a minute to generate history, as long as worldgen was short.
10 years works extremely well.
