Speed up Gate-level simulation

Hi, I am running a gate-level simulation to try and verify my design but its taking a very long time. Is there a way I can speed this process up? I don't think multithreading is a possibility.....

The biggest thing will be upgrading your modelsim licence. The cheaper the licence, the slower it runs. Or even move to Linux (this runs much faster).

Gate level sims always take a long long time. The best way to speed them up is to do as much testing at the RTL level as possible.
