vrad compiling for 6+ hours?

Ok, I test compiled for the map contest several times - then when it came to the final it's over six hours and is only at 50 % - what's wrong? My maps usually go 1 hour max.

Any ideas for the cause? Is there anything I should look for?

map is completely sealed - map has no underbelly - have func_detailed a lot of the interior ie boxes/crates etc.. and room is a fairly basic box. Have never seen this before - really frustrating!

I may make a 2nd version and strip out some of the lights to see if that makes a difference and the issue pisses me off. All through the contest no issues one fast and normal (no vis) compile took 15 mins max and vis and Bang 6 hours later it's still going no idea why it would do that but it did. Frozen's lights thing may be the cause and will check it out to see if the compile is still running when I get home from work - I started another at 8.30 this morning, it was still going at 12 noon (according to my wife)

If you weren't doing VVIS before that could be related. VRAD is calculated in part using info from VVIS, so you could have some issues with visleaves that are contributing.
