Quartus fitter taking 2+ hours for NIOS design

What's the specs on the different machines?

It could be you are swapping on your work machine because it doesn't have enough memory.

I would also delete the db and incremental_db directories and try again. I've had problems in the past where it's fighting something based on an old incremental design.

I ended up finding out that windows was running two instances of Quartus even though only one was open and available to me. I found this in the task managers process list. Once I killed all processes and re-opened Quartus, I built with no problems.

For $99 It's a cheap dev board if nothing else. :)

I did come across similar experience especially when I have opened a few Quartus instances in my PC. It seems like sometime even though I have close the Quartus but it still running and occupying my CPU usage at the background. Normally I will restart PC or kill the process in Task Manager process.
