simulation performance

I'm wondering what's normal performance of the quartus simulations. I have a design for Cyclone III that uses about 1900 logic entities and 8 of the dedicated multiplier blocks. It's clocked at 20...

... I'm simulating 10ms of operation in timing mode...

When simulating smaller designs before I have often made lots of small changes and re-ran the simulation over and over.

Are you simulating to check the logic functionality? If so, then it should be faster to run functional simulations.

See Rysc's comments about functional versus timing simulation at the end of http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=13315.
