What size worlds are you generating? What size worlds were you generating in 31.03? Have you tried tweaking your PRINT_MODE settings in init.txt?

I can confirm this in version 0.31.08 too. World size is at max. With the default parameters it takes some time but far from as much as it's taking now after I changed min temp to 40 and max temp to 90.

On my quadcore Q6700 with 8GB of RAM it's running for about at least 10 minutes and it's still not finished. Wait... ah, meanwhile it's actually finished. So, it really takes that long. It doesn't simply crash.

Large worlds taking 10+ minutes is completely normal and not a bug. I guess I'll close this since it's been a month with no answers from toybasher.
