without taking out frustrations too badly on the innocent), it
would be much appreciated. humble thanks]

if you have LIDAR data, probably try v.surf.rst or v.surf.bspline.

yes, r.surf.contour can spend a Very Long Time searching if
there are large areas without contour lines. I would not be
surprised if a 7200x8700 region with lots of flat areas could
take a few days to complete in that case. I'd be surprised if
it took much more than a week @ 3GHz though.

(I do a lot of work in steep mountains so for me it usually
runs very quickly :-)
