The faster calendar is also good because it starts to open the door for optionally longer wait periods and other stuff like that.
So this kind of thing is definitely on Toady's radar.

Related ideas include choosing a safe area and telling your adventurer to train for the next x weeks.  No more pointless hours grinding of ambusher, knapper, and thrower only to die as soon as you take up a quest!  You could also tell your adventurer to wait for something interesting to happen.  you could setup camp in a choke point and challenge armies as they pass through.
