R.WATERSHED QUESTION.

[Merlyn Paulson]

R.watershed has been running since 8:15AM 8/22 (today is 8/26) on the
following dataset (current progress follows):

The output from r.watershed will be divided into watershed 
basins.  There are two possible methods of tabulating the information: 
1) by only including data pertaining to the basin itself, or 2) using 
data from the basin, and all basins upstream of it.

Would you like the data organized:
1) Basin only
2) Basin and upstream
3) Both
OR 0) to cancell program
 
Your choice: 1

OK, seg should start running now using the following form:
/usr3/grass4.0/etc/water/seg el="elevation at PERMANENT" de="lakes at PERMANENT" t=1 ba="basin1" ar="relate1" ac="accum1"

SECTION 1 beginning: Initiating Variables. 5 sections total
    segments in row:    167
segments in columns:    165
     total segments:    27555
      open segments:    213

SECTION 1b (of 5): Determining Offmap Flow. Percent Complete:  
 
SECTION 2: A * Search.                      Percent complete:    4%

MY QUESTION IS THIS:

DOES IT MAKE SENSE THAT IT TAKES APPROXIMATELY 36 HOURS (SUN IPX) TO
KNOCK OFF EACH PERCENT IN SECTION 2: A + Search?  

I really need to get this done, so am extremely hesitant to kill the
job and begin again.

I read your previous message about the comparison with Spearfish...
I don't know how big Spearfish is and don't have immediate access to
it to find out.

Thanks for your reply.
